July 26, 1980
Article 1 Labour management problems concerning Chinese-foreign equity joint ventures (hereinafter referred to as "joint ventures") shall all be handled in accordance with these Provisions, in addition to the pertinent stipulations in Article 6 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Chinese-Foreign Equity Joint Ventures.
Article 2 Matters pertaining to employment, dismissal and resignation of the workers and staff members, tasks of production and other work, wages and awards and punishment, working time and vacation, labour insurance and welfare, labour protection and labour discipline in joint ventures shall be stipulated in the labour contracts signed.
A labour contract is to be signed by a joint venture and the trade union organization in the joint venture collectively. A relatively small joint venture may sign contracts with the workers and staff members individually.
A signed labour contract must be submitted to the labour management department of the government of the province, autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government for approval.
Article 3 The workers and staff members of a joint venture either recommended by the authorities in the locality in charge of the joint venture or the labour management department, or recruited by the joint venture itself with the consent of the labour management department, shall all be selected by the joint venture through rigorous examinations.
Joint ventures may run workers' schools and training courses to train managerial personnel and skilled workers.
Article 4 With regard to the workers and staff members who become redundant as a result of changes in production and technical conditions of the joint venture, those who fail to meet the requirements after training and are not suitable for other jobs in the joint venture can be discharged.
