最高人民法院于2026年7月29日发布批复，规定事业单位工作人员脱产参加全日制学历教育后违反服务期约定的，应当承担违约责任[1]。该批复由最高人民法院审判委员会第1962次会议于2025年12月15日通过，自2026年7月30日起施行[1]。
根据批复规定，事业单位工作人员违反服务期约定时，人民法院依法支持事业单位的违约责任请求[1]。为防止过度惩罚，工作人员可向法院请求减少明显高于实际损失的违约金[1]。法院在审理此类案件时，应当综合考虑实际损失、已经履行的年限、过错程度等因素做出裁决[1]。该批复维护事业单位人事管理秩序和诚信契约精神[1]。
The Supreme People's Court released a judicial interpretation on July 29, 2026, establishing that employees of public institutions who pursue full-time degree programs on paid educational leave must bear contractual liability if they violate service period agreements.[1] The interpretation, adopted by the Court's Adjudication Committee at its 1962nd session on December 15, 2025, takes effect on July 30, 2026.[1]
According to the ruling, when public institutions demand that employees fulfill their service obligations following full-time academic study, people's courts shall support such claims as a matter of law.[1] The decision aims to maintain institutional personnel management order and uphold the principle of contractual good faith.[1] However, employees retain the right to petition courts to reduce penalties that substantially exceed actual losses, with judges required to weigh factors including actual damages, years already served, and degree of fault when determining appropriate reductions.[1]
