Our Approach to EOR<\/h2>

MSA is a ‘full-stack’ China expansion company \u2014 we support international businesses in all aspects of their China expansion.<\/p>

Often a legal entity, such as a Joint Venture or Wholly Foreign-Owned enterprise is the best option for business expansion. But in some cases, such as where you only seek to hire a small number or employees or test the market in China, an Employer of Record (EOR) solution makes more sense. Through our EOR, we quickly and compliantly hire China-based talent, and can support your business in all aspects of China HR, payroll and employment compliance.\u00a0<\/p>

In addition, we can support all elements of your China operations with our expert advisory services: We offer highly skilled professionals across a broad spectrum of functions, including accounting, tax, human resources, IT, and corporate secretarial services.<\/p>

If you reach a point where you are ready to transition from EOR to a full China presence, we can support a smooth transition to a local legal entity.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

Hiring in China<\/h2>

Hiring independent contractors involves clearly defining work parameters, allowing contractors to decide on working methods, timing, and machinery. A written agreement specifying payment terms is mandatory.<\/p>

Full-Time Employees<\/h3>

Hiring full-time employees requires an official employment contract<\/a>. Employers must maintain detailed employee files and compensation records.\u00a0<\/p>

Probation and Termination<\/h2>

Probation<\/h3>

The probation period for employees in China depends on the duration of their employment contract. The maximum probation period is one month for contracts ranging from three months to one year.

A 30-day notice period is typically required, or three days during probation.<\/p>

In China, both employers and employees are required to make contributions to various social security funds. These contributions include pension, unemployment insurance, housing fund, occupational injury insurance, and medical and maternity insurance. These contributions ensure that employees receive necessary social benefits and protections. The percentages of salary contributed by employers and employees can vary by city.

China PEO vs China EOR<\/h2>

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and an Employer of Record (EOR) serve different business purposes. A China PEO involves co-employment<\/a>, where the responsibilities are shared between the PEO and the client company. This is ideal for companies needing HR support. On the other hand, an Employer of Record in China acts as the legal employer<\/a> and takes full responsibility for compliance, payroll, and HR functions, making it suitable for companies expanding into new territories.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
