Our company in China operates from Shanghai, China.
Despite China being polarized at both ends of the economic spectrum, their economy has continuously grown at staggering rates for the last 30 years. However, most organisations venturing into China face roadblocks that often make the processes we take for granted elsewhere a challenge here. Basic necessities like employment of a foreigner, administering of payroll, paying taxes are not that straightforward.
The Innovare Group provides a full contract management model in China specific to your requirements operating in multiple industries. We usually refer to this model as the Employee of Record (EOR) model. Some of the characteristics are elaborated below.
We are able to assist whether you or your consultant is an expatriate or local in China.
We have a team of payroll, immigration and compliance specialists ready to provide professional advice in terms of contracting.
How Innovare China can assist:
Immigration laws in most countries in Asia Pac often hold a local entity responsible for the entry, wellbeing, good behaviour and eventual exit of the individual. This also ensures that local immigration and employment laws are adhered to. This host company will be the technical employer of the individual.
We assist with the sponsorship of the work visa. Please speak to your Innovare sales contact person who will determine the appropriate visa for you or your consultant.
Innovare’s insurance policy in China (subject to terms and conditions) includes Professional indemnity insurance and Public liability insurance and is inclusive in our management fee. Workman compensation insurance is charged at cost.
Needless to say, all Employee of Record consultants are required to have adequate medical insurance to cover them throughout the entire contract. While medical insurance covers for locals, medical insurance is a must for expatriates working in China.
Should you need assistance in Asia Pacific, we would be pleased to hear from you.
