A Chinese beauty clinic paid an employee's £700 compensation fee in coins after they resigned.

In the video, shot in Zizhong County in Sichuan Province on September 14, two buckets of coins were delivered by a three-wheeler to the woman named Zhang at the labour arbitration department.

Zhang thought the beauty clinic used this way to humiliate her and refused to accept the coins. A manager named Li said: "Coins are also money. We did not humiliate her. There were both coins and cash."

Zhang and the beauty clinic are still negotiating, reports said.

9月14日，张女士在四川资中一家医学美容公司离职后，通过劳动仲裁获得6000多元补偿金。当天她到劳动仲裁部门领取补偿金，公司却用三轮车拉来两桶硬币给她。张女士认为公司此举涉嫌侮辱。涉事公司李经理称，硬币也是人民币，“这个不是说侮辱她，有硬币、有纸币，而且有一块的也有一毛的”。（视频由四川日报提供）
