To begin setting up payroll, you must first establish a subsidiary and open bank accounts in the country. All payments to employees must be made in the local currency, the Chinese yuan.
You also need a strong written employment contract that includes information such as social insurance, working hour regulations, and working conditions, as required by Chinese law.
Before you can start a payroll in China, you must first understand the country's taxation rules. Based on a worker's income, China's progressive income tax ranges from 3% to 45%. The rate of corporate taxation is 25%.
Employers in China contribute to various benefit schemes. The country's statutory benefits include five insurances as well as housing assistance:
1. Medical insurance
2. Pension
3. Compensation for workers
4. Unemployment benefits
5. Maternity Leave
As an employer, you must contribute to the housing fund, which functions similarly to a 401(k). While some contribution is required, employees frequently try to bargain for more during the hiring process. Employers usually contribute 5% to 25% of an employee's annual salary.
Companies that wish to expand their operations globally have four different payroll options in China. These payroll options are:
1. Internal Payroll. This payroll option is applicable for already established companies in China. It includes devoting an entire Human Resources staff to running the company's payroll procedures.
2. Remote Payroll. Smaller firms may lack the capacity to handle their own payroll, but they may add their workers to the parent company's payroll. This action, on the other hand, requires considerable thinking. You must guarantee that you follow the rules and laws of each nation.
Working with a local outsourcing firm is one method to retain money in the local economy, but you'll still need to study all of the local rules and regulations, since you'll be held responsible.
3. China payroll outsourcing: Outsourcing your payroll to an Employer of Record in China, such as Rivermate, is another alternative for Andorra payroll outsourcing. We can manage all aspects of your payroll, including compliance. Send us a note and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
It is the obligation of the employer to ensure that all payroll-related transactions are properly documented and recorded. All salaries and compensation payments must adhere to the local minimum wage as well as other applicable laws and regulations.

In China, a contract may not be permitted to end unless all parties concur or the contract expires.
The minimum wage in China varies by province and city. For example, as of 2021, Shanghai has the highest monthly minimum wage of 2,480 yuan, followed by Shenzhen at 2,200 yuan and Guizhou at 1,570 yuan. Employers typically pay employees on a monthly basis, either in cash or via a bank transfer.
Although a 13th-month bonus or salary is not required by law, it is a market norm in China. Instead of a guaranteed bonus, you can state in the employment contract the monthly salary, the frequency with which employees will be paid, and the total annual salary. You can then specify that a bonus is optional but will be distributed if certain conditions are met. Salespeople frequently receive a commission plan in lieu of this bonus.
In China, the standard workday is eight hours and no more than 44 hours per week. Employers may adopt different work hours in exceptional circumstances and with the Labor Department's approval.
Offices are typically open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, with a two-hour lunch break between noon and 2 p.m., although hours vary by city. Government offices are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and are closed on weekends.
The national system provides basic health and pension insurance; however, extra health insurance may be supplied to the employee.
Employers in China contribute to a housing fund, which is similar to a 401k plan. Employees' real estate rent and purchase costs are subsidized by the fund. Some contributions are required; nevertheless, employees typically bargain for a higher housing fund rate. Employers are typically required to contribute between 5% and 25% of an employee's annual wage. Distinct cities have different policies concerning the housing fund.
It is difficult to provide stock options to employees in China. We strongly advise you to consider if it is "worth" delivering this bonus to your Chinese staff before doing so.
