Our human resources professionals in China and Thailand work closely with our labor and employment lawyers and our accounting and tax professionals to provide our clients with a range of services such as: advising on labor and employment law compliance requirements, employee recruitment, labor outsourcing or labor dispatch services, applying for foreign work permits for expatriates, setting up corporate bank accounts and social insurance and individual income tax accounts, fapiao issuance services, payroll solutions (e.g. payment of social insurance, housing fund, individual income tax and employee salary payments), drafting employment contracts, employee handbooks, internal employment and work safety rules, intellectual property protection agreements, termination agreements, shareholders agreement, and stock option and profit-sharing plans. We also provide arbitration, mediation, settlements and dispute resolution services.
China
Due to unique and mandatory tax-filing and other regulatory compliance laws in China, many of the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) we assist often require assistance with back-office administration tasks such as human resources and accounting. Many of our clients prefer to work with a single service provider that offers legal, accounting and human resources services as opposed to working with several different firms. It is often more practical and cost-effective to hire one services company to provide the majority of services normally required during the process of building a successful business in Asia as opposed to hiring and paying multiple services providers.
After establishing human resources and accounting management systems for our clients, our professionals continue to administer these management systems until our client’s businesses expand and they hire internal staff to complete human resources and accounting tasks in-house.
Key services provided by our human resources professionals include:
- Cashier service
- Fapiao issuance service
- Setting up corporate bank accounts that are used to pay statutory welfare for employees
- Setting up social insurance and individual income tax accounts
- Payroll solutions (e.g. social insurance, housing fund, individual income tax and employee salary payments)
