Work dispute? You've Got Only a 5% Chance Winning in Court

PTL Group PTL Group 2021-09-17

Did you know that:

In 2017-2018, 91% of Shanghai companies lost in court in “employee incompetency” cases, trying to fire an employee
Only 5% of all work disputes discussed in Shanghai courts in 2019, ended in favor of the employer
In Beijing it was even worst - 0% (regardless of the employer being a Chinese or a Foreign owned company)
When a case of termination is brought to the arbitrator's table, companies win in only 3% of the times

China's labor laws are tangled, and in many cases localized employment contracts can save you troubles. Yet, even a meticulously formulated employment contract can't fully protect or cover all the key provisions that are important for the employer to implement.

The Employment Handbook

The employment handbook is one of the ways to make sure the company and its employees are all on the same page regarding work, expectations and handling circumstances that are specific to the workplace.

Since it defines supplemental rules that are relevant to the company, the Employment Handbook can be used in court as well, as a means by the company in the event of a labor dispute.

How to formulate an effective

Employment Handbook?
