Easily manage employment in China

Employment contracts in China can only be terminated with clear justification and severance payment made to the concerned employee.

Employees are entitled to a month’s pay for every year worked, with any tenure up to six months but less than a year counted as a year. Employees with less than six months’ tenure and are not in probation period are entitled to half a month’s pay if they’re let go. Severance is not payable under summary dismissal.

Probation periods can last anywhere from a month to six months, depending on the term of employment. Probation periods are not extendable.
