China Hiring Solutions for Foreign Companies
Hire, onboard, and manage employees in China quickly and compliantly without establishing a local entity.
Why Hiring in China Is Challenging
Hiring in China is challenging due to several structural and regulatory factors
Labor Law
Strong employee protections require strict compliance in contracts, termination procedures, and workplace regulations, increasing legal and compliance risks for employers.
Payroll Policy
Salary structures are highly regulated, with mandatory deductions, detailed reporting requirements, and frequent policy updates that require ongoing management.
Social Security
Employers must contribute to multiple compulsory schemes (pension, medical, unemployment, maternity, and housing fund), with rates varying significantly by city.
Tax Regulations
Individual income tax withholding and reporting are complex and tightly regulated, with regular policy changes and strict filing requirements.
WFOE Setup Delays
Establishing a WFOE can be time-consuming due to multi-step approvals, registration procedures, and delayed bank account opening, which can slow down hiring and operations.
