Local know-how

A Closer Look at Hiring Practices in China

When planning to expand your employee base in China, you should first have an in-depth knowledge of the employment landscape. This will be your number one priority. Here are the things to consider:

  • Employment Contracts and Compliance: In mainland China, a written labor contract in Chinese is mandatory under the Labor Contract Law, and failing to sign one can expose employers to double-wage penalties. The law sets out detailed requirements for how contracts are concluded and terminated.

  • Mandatory Benefits: Employers must provide the "five social insurances" (pension, medical, unemployment, work-injury, and maternity) plus contributions to the Housing Provident Fund (公积金). Contribution rates vary from city to city.

  • Work Hours and Tax: The standard arrangement is a 40-hour, five-day workweek. Employers withhold Individual Income Tax (IIT) from employees, and a 13th-month salary paid around Chinese New Year is a customary practice.
