Chinese worker loses compensation for taking 'bed rest' on island resort.

A Chinese tech company fired an employee for taking sick leave and spending it on a tropical island, instead of recuperating at home. The employee had applied for two weeks of paid leave earlier but was rejected by his manager. The employee was fired after a co-worker spotted him at the Hainan airport. The company was ordered to pay compensation, but a higher court overturned the decision, ruling that the employee had gone against the doctor's advice of bed rest.
