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.
