[Summary translation provided by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre] Hu, who applied for a position in an electronic OEM company got through the tests and was told that he was hired. The two sides reached agreement on salaries. After an initial medical examination, in which Hu was found to be a hepatitis B carrier, he was told that he did not pass the medical examination and was asked to go home. Hu wondered if the hospital revealed the examination results to the employer, so he complained to the Municipal Health Bureau of Medical Affairs and soon the hospital apologized and compensated 2000 RMB as condolence payment. The assistant president of the hospital confirmed this and said the court conducted an investigation. The national law prohibits the checking of hepatitis B status in staff medical examinations and employers may not refuse to hire on grounds of such status. Hu filed the case to court, demanding a written apology and a compensation of 23640RMB from the employer.
