China's stature as the "manufacturing hub for the world" and its increasing status as an economic powerhouse has meant that almost all the major corporations in the world have a presence in China. This title provides the information you need to navigate and succeed in China's evolving employment marketplace.
With the passing of the new Employment Contract Law effective as of 1st January 2008 and a raft of other related laws, the landscape for businesses in China has completely changed. As the demand for labor grows and the economic and legal landscape in China evolves, this book provides practical and analytical commentary on the key issues faced by businesses. It also covers the impact and the changes brought about by the new law.
