What Shall Be Noticed When Renewing Employment Contracts?

Towards the end of the year, many employees' employment contracts are about to expire. What shall be noticed when negotiating a renewal of the contract with HR?

If the employment contract expires and the employer intends to renew it, it shall negotiate with the employee in a timely manner without delay.

At the time of renewal, if the employee meets the requirements of signing an open-term contract after 10 years of continuous service for one employer, the employer shall sign it.

Necessary clauses 

Although it is a renewal, the following clauses of the labor contract still need to be stipulated in the renewal contract:

1. Name, address, and legal representative or main responsible person of the employer;

2. Employer's name, address, resident ID card, or other valid ID numbers;

3. Duration of employment contract;

4. Work content and work location;

5. Working hours, rest, and vacation;

6. Remuneration;

7. Social insurance;

8. Labor protection, working conditions, and occupational hazard protection;

9. Other matters that laws and regulations provide shall be involved in the labor contract.

A trial period cannot be agreed

The trial period is generally applicable to new employees. For the employees who renew the contract, the employer has a sufficient understanding of their business ability and work during the performance of the previous contract, and agreeing to the renewal means mutual affirmation and recognition. So the trial period cannot be agreed upon again.

Keep renewed contracts

The employer and the employee shall each keep one copy of the employment contract.
