Abstract

Hiring staff is one of the first key decisions a company will come across, and as it grows more and more people will be added to the payroll. Before a company decides to employ significant numbers in China it should take into account all the issues introduced in this chapter. It may be acceptable or even sensible to hire a few employees without investing money in developing rulebooks, policies and complex salary structures, but as a company grows it needs to protect its interests and define employment relationships in a clear manner.
