    About this ebook

    The Labor Contract Law of the People's Republic of China is the primary source of labor law in China and went into effect on January 1, 2008, following a series of staff-sacking scandals in many companies. While the enforcement of the law and its efficacy is sometimes questioned, the labor contract law promised to enable workers to get their employment granted only on basis of a contract, provide guidelines for standing working hour regulations of maximum 40 hours per week, non-tolerance for delayed payment of wages, relaxations in terms of paid leave etc.
