english.legalinfo.gov.cn Updated: 2018-05-30

The Constitution, Labor Law, Law on Labor Contract, Law on Social Insurance, Law on Labor Dispute Arbitration, and Disposal Regulations on Enterprise Labor Disputes all specify labor rights protection; these provisions also apply to foreigners in China. The recruitment, resignation, dismissal, remuneration, welfare, labor protection and labor insurance, etc. for employees of foreign enterprises in China shall abide by these stipulations by means of signed labor contracts. The employees shall set up trade unions and practice activities to maintain their legal rights in the company. The enterprise shall provide the trade union with necessary conditions. If the foreign-invested company violates regulations and breaks labor's rights, it shall bear correspondent responsibilities in accordance with Labor Law, Labor Contract Law and Law on Social Insurance.
