On January 1, 2008, a new Labor Contract Law (LCL) came into effect in China, supplementing the 1995 Labor Law. This new piece of legislation is meant primarily to protect the interests of mostly blue-collar workers, but is technically applicable to all types of employment in China, whether Chinese citizens or foreigners.

This 1-day Online seminar is developed in a well-balanced approach which clarifies and shares the Mainland China employment law framework together with practical tips and techniques being deployed to handle New Labour Contract Law effectively. This includes addressing the practical aspects of managing a cross-cultural workforce, and provide with an accurate understanding of critical employment issues in the workplace to consider when setting up and maintaining operations in China.
