Additional Information
EOR employment in China requires locally compliant contracts and mandatory enrollment in social insurance and housing fund schemes. Payroll administration varies by city, with differing contribution rates and reporting obligations. Termination is highly regulated and often costly if procedures are not strictly followed. Local labor bureaus actively enforce compliance. An EOR manages city-specific requirements and ongoing regulatory risk.

Talk to GiniWhat does EOR cost in China?
EOR is billed as a monthly per-employee fee covering payroll, employment contracts, and statutory filings. The rate shown on this page is the starting point; the exact fee depends on role, seniority, and extras such as work permits.
How long does onboarding take via EOR in China?
Once we have the role details and employee information, onboarding typically takes 1–3 weeks — much faster than incorporating a local entity, which often takes 3–6 months.
Can I terminate an EOR employee in China?
Yes. You instruct; we remain the legal employer and run notice, severance, and process according to local labour law and the employment contract.
What is the notice period in China?
Statutory notice depends on tenure and the contract. We apply the legal minimum plus any contractual terms when you request a termination.
Do I need a local entity to hire in China?
No. EOR exists so you can hire without incorporating. We are the legal employer of record; your team manages the day-to-day work.
Why choose Gini Talent as your EOR in China?
Transparent per-employee pricing, local payroll and compliance handled for you, and the same team can add recruitment or scale into the next market across 100+ countries.
