Chapter 1. Recruiting Professionals

Abstract

Recruitment is defined as the profiling, attraction, search, selection, and on-boarding of candidates for open positions. Due to China’s history of rapid economic and social development, managers encounter a unique set of challenges when seeking to recruit professionals in China. This chapter is meant to support human resource departments as well as functional and general managers in calibrating their recruitment activities to the Chinese market, with a focus on recruiting white collar and skilled senior technical professionals.

Chapter 2. Hiring Staff

Abstract

Hiring staff is one of the first key decisions a company will come across. Before a company decides to employ significant numbers in China it should take into account all the issues introduced in this chapter. It may be acceptable, or even sensible, to hire a few employees without investing money in developing rulebooks, policies, and complex salary structures, but as a company grows it needs to protect its interests and define employment relationships in a clear manner.

Chapter 3. Handling Payroll

Abstract

This chapter deals with the logistical process of managing the monthly payroll. Paying employees the correct amount of money by the required date may seem like a simple exercise; however, as payroll structures become more complex processing, more time consuming, and more errors are made. Fundamental mistakes like continuing to pay salary or mandatory benefit to workers that have already left the company are surprisingly common. Such mistakes are financially damaging, but the consequences to the company can be even worse when it fails to pay the full amount owed to a valued staff member.

Chapter 4. Managing the Employment Relationship

Abstract

The management of employees is not just about processing documents. Certain situations arise that require special consideration. Good communication and a clear understanding of the responsibilities of the employer are necessary to maintain a good relationship.

Chapter 5. Terminating the Employment Relationship

Abstract

This chapter focuses on issues relating to termination of staff—something that is never pleasant but occasionally necessary. With adequate preparation and clear understanding of the law, at least the drama can be reduced to some extent. There is also a more fundamental reason to make sure a termination is handled properly; labor disputes can be expensive for employers in China.

Chapter 6. Organizing Visas

Abstract

One final important point for companies is to ensure that their employees have the right paperwork, allowing them to do their job legally in the country where they are employed. Here, we focus on the processes involved in getting working visas for foreign employees in China.
