Employment Law in China, 3rd Edition

Sweeping new developments in every aspect of labour law in China demand a new edition of this much-relied-upon volume. As always, you can count on Employment Law in China’s thorough information and guidance to ensure you stay above the penalty-strewn minefield of China’s burgeoning labour law regime.

 
Among the dozens of newly prominent ‘danger zones’ you’ll learn to navigate securely are the following :

• validity of your labour employment contract system;
• extension of an employee’s working hours;
• far-reaching implications of the Labour Disputes Mediation and Arbitration Law;
• economic compensation (severance pay) on termination or resignation;
• establishment of a labour safety and hygiene policy;
• mandatory paid annual leave; and
• required monthly insurance payments for older employees.

 
The book remains the most comprehensive and reliable guide to the best HR practice in China, with easy-to-understand coverage – in plain English – of such employment law basics as recruitment, benefits, tax, expatriate and foreign workers, training, industrial relations, termination and redundancy. Translations of laws, rules, and regulations manifest CCH’s unchallenged standards of accuracy and clarity.
 
Employment Law in China, Third Edition, will prove immeasurably valuable to line managers, human resource practitioners, company lawyers and other professionals involved in running day-to-day business operations in China. Users of earlier editions quickly found they couldn’t do without it.
