Employment Law in China, 4th Edition

Sweeping new developments in China labour law warrants this new edition of a much-relied-upon practice manual. You can count on Employment Law in China’s thorough information and guidance to stay ahead of your employer liabilities in the minefield of China’s labour law regime.

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

• Implications for employers from the revised Criminal Law in 2011; 
• The new Work-related Injury Insurance Regulations that now covers public institutions, social groups, non-profit grassroots organisations, foundations, and law and accounting firms;

• Updates to Shanghai’s social insurance system and expatriates’ eligibility to health and disability benefits; and
• Corporate tax benefits for recruiting unemployed individuals; and
