The social insurances

Essential Social Benefits in China:

Our payroll management covers key social benefits in China, including pension, medical insurance, and housing funds.

Pension Fund

Both workers and companies are obligated to contribute to the pension fund, with employers typically contributing a larger share based on the city's regulations.

Medical Insurance

By law, employers must offer basic health insurance to employees for emergencies, with a standard employer contribution of about 2% of the employee's salary.

Housing Fund

Employers are also required to contribute to the housing fund for Chinese nationals, which is considered an individual account rather than a collective pool.

Avoiding the HR Bureau

Navigating HR Regulations:

In China, following wage and hour regulations is vital for preventing legal issues and financial penalties. EOR China takes care to meticulously log and arrange all payroll processes, ensuring clarity and compliance.
