Why Hiring China-Based "Employees" Without A Company Is Bad Busin
2012-01-18 07:28:00 Today I had a long conversation with a couple of out of town lawyers who had called me regarding whether their client should shut down its China Representative Office and form a WFOE. My advise was that there was no need to do so from a legal perspective (because the company was that rare and dying beast: a truly legal China Rep Office), but it should ask itself whether it still made sense from a strictly business perspective. I then talked of how WFOEs are able to do so much more in China than Rep Offices, not least of which is get paid in RMB. I concluded by saying that the decision would be strictly business. After I got off the phone, I though of how one of the things I love about what I do is the mix of law and business. My firm supplies the legal acumen and we mostly rely on our clients to supply the business acumen. I am always stressing to my clients that though I will do my utmost to understand their business, I will never know it as well as they do. I help with their busin...

Indian Employers & Employees Quickly Catching On To The Trend Of Social
2011-12-01 13:08:00 We are bang in the middle of the ‘Social Age’! Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. have become important and necessary tools of communication in both our personal and professional lives. For youngsters (those who have recently entered the job market as well as those who are at the brink and in the process of completing their academics) social networks are an integral part of their lives. So, it was only a matter of time before social networks became an important source of acquiring jobs/internships. Facebook has over 800 million users, Twitter has over 100 million users and LinkedIn (the premier professional networking site) also has over 100 million users. Recruiters, HR consultancy firms and various individual companies have realized the potential of this medium and social recruitment, which is currently a trend, is slated to become the norm. Surveys and studies have revealed that inIndia social recruitment (or recruitment through social networking sites) constitutes about 2% o...

China's Slowdown And YOUR Employees
2011-11-28 05:28:00 Spoke last week with a long-term client. I asked him how things were going for his company in China these days and his response was "good and bad." This is a company that makes product in China strictly for US sales. Product sales are good, he told me, and on that front not much has changed. On the labor/employment front, however, is where things are "getting interesting." He told me that in the last few months he has been able to bring in better employees for less than he would have expected and this is because "so many Chinese companies" are either laying off employees, cutting their hours, or cutting their pay and he is "getting the sense that it is becoming prestigious again to work for an American company, even a small one." That's the good news. The bad news is that the amount he is having to pay his terminated employees to get them to sign an agreement never to sue the company has gone up. According to our client, terminated employees are no longer of the view that the...

Employers keep the cash, employees take home the risk
2011-06-21 16:00:00 It seems like there was an era in America where there was a general contract between employers and employees. Employees work hard and dedicate their careers to helping a company earn a profit. In return, employers are loyal to those employees, offering them insurance, workers' comp, and the general expectation of being taken care of in exchange for your work. That contract, if it ever existed, has been severely weakened. Some might even say it's been broken. ARISE Chicago, a collaboration between faith groups and local workers to fight labor injustice, is bringing to light the ways in which employers no longer feel obligated to offer their employees anything except a meager wage... and sometimes, not even that.

In 2011 Public Employees Unions Must Be Targeted for Elimination
2011-01-05 16:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston One of the biggest recurring themes in union reporting these days is music to the ears of any fiscally responsible American. It seems almost weekly that we are seeing stories that recount the ire being directed at public employee unions. Let us hope that this reporting is the first ripples of an anti-union tidal wave that will sweep public employee unions from our governments drowning in union-created red ink. One of the latest is an editorial out of Wisconsin by the Lakeland Times' Gregg Walker. Walker kicked off his piece with exactly the sort of sentiment that we should hope will lead to an end to public employee unions....

Pat Quinn's approval of a pension reform bill last spring and its implementation, any public worker hired in Illinois as late as Friday has been enrolled in a far more lucrative pension plan than those hired on or after Saturday.A Rockford Register Star analysis of pension data has identified nearly 19,000 public workers at all levels of Illinois government hired in that span, from bus drivers to university presidents.

Obama's Labor Dept. to Force Employers to tell Employees They Have a R
2010-12-24 17:50:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Obama's intrusive National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the government regulatory agency responsible for making rules to govern the relationship between employer and employee, has decided that as an employee you are stupid. Worse, the NLRB also decided that it has the power to force your employer to waste its resources holding your hand as an employee and notifying you of your rights to join a union under the National Labor Relations Act. Essentially, this government agency has summarily decided that employers must do the government agency's job for it. What American doesn't understand that they have a basic right to unionize? And for those who don't it is incumbent upon them to learn enough to become...

Meal break requirements for Illinois employees
2010-08-30 15:13:00 In Chicago, and throughout Illinois, employees must be given a 20-minute unpaid meal break if they are working 7.5 hours or longer. The meal break must occur no later than 5 hours into the shift, according to Illinois labor law. Some employers provide paid lunch breaks, but they are not required to do so. Illinois is in the minority - the majority of states have no meal-break laws. In Illinois, not every employee is entitled to the meal break. If you are working fewer than 7.5 hours, no lunch break is required. If you are in a job monitoring those who have mental illness or developmental disabilities, a meal break may not be required. There are other exceptions, as...
Illinois public employees' pensions no sure thing
2010-08-10 04:21:00 Illinois public employees who think the state constitution guarantees that they'll get all their pension benefits may have another think coming.Politicians' and public labor unions' assurances aside, there's another, not-well-publicized school of thought that says if the pension funds go bust, the state has no obligation to step in to pay the benefits. This runs contrary to the popular view that the Illinois Constitution, on its face, guarantees that all public employee pension benefits will be fully paid.This belief is based on Article 13, Section 5 of the Illinois Constitution: "Membership in any pension or retirement system of the state, any unit of local government or school district ... shall be an enforceable contractual relationship, the benefits of which shall...

Lawsuit: Merrill Lynch favors male employees
2009-12-18 23:52:00 A former Merrill Lynch financial advisor is suing the financial services firm for alleged gender discrimination. Patti Lent says that since joining the firm in 2006, she experienced the following: - Trainees were required to gather $1.5M in client assets in order to qualify for the "Paths of Achievment" training program and could not use assets transferred from a mentor. However, male trainees did just that while Lent's attempt to do the same was denied.- Male financial advisors invited male trainees to join their men's bible study group that met in the cafeteria. The male financial advisors in the group transferred accounts to the trainees in the group against firm policy but which policy was never monitored for compliance by...

The Danger of Involving Former Government Employees in Contractor Proposal
2009-12-12 13:38:00 By: Lane F. Kelman As opportunities in the private sector remain, at best, stagnant, the public sector has become increasingly competitive. The desire to gain a competitive advantage, however, must be tempered by compliance with ethical obligations. When attempting to gain a competitive advantage, it is crucial to avoid the appearance that your advantage is unfair. A recent decision by the GAO, Health Net Federal Services, LLC, highlights the balance that must be had when you seek a competitive advantage and the risk if the balance is not maintained. On November 9, 2009, the GAO sustained the bid protest of Health Net Federal Services, LLC (HNFS) of the award of a contract to Aetna Government Health Plans, LLC (AGHP). HNFS and AGHP issued offers in response to request for proposals issued by the Department of Defense TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) for T-3 TRICARE managed health care support services. TRICARE is a managed health care program implemented by the Department of Defens...
Airline Employees Can Spread Swine Flue.

Western Companies Are Frittering Away China Employees. Or Not.
2009-06-12 07:02:00 Fascinating article at Access Asia on how Western companies are, at the exact worst time, cutting back on their employees in China. The article, "Are Foreign Brands in China About to Give It All Away??" says that many Western companies, run out of places like London and New York, are cutting back on their China operations so as to preserve cash and save money at home: By and large, in most sectors of the retail business, they had the locals on the run both as brands and retailers. Then last year’s financial crash. Since then two mantras have surfaced – the West is in freefall; China is surprisingly robust. Our sales are declining in the West; growth is still apparent in China. Good news then for those teams in China who did all the hard work over the last decade? Eeeerrr, no. Head offices from London to Paris to New York and back again panicked – big time. Cuts were demanded; cost savings had to be found – redundancies implemented. And it seems a sort of warped, nonsensic...

Wanna Get Sued In China? Your Ex-Employees Can Help. Part II, The Corpora
2009-04-25 17:53:00 I should have waited a couple of days. The day before yesterday, I did a post on foreign employees getting sued in China by their ex-employees, entitled, "Wanna Get Sued In China? Your Ex-Employees Can Help." Today, Corporate Counsel Magazine came out with a related article, in which I am quoted. The article is entitled, "Companies Considering Layoffs in China Must Coordinate With Government." It is written by Anthony Lin, an attorney and Chief Asia Correspondent at Incisive Media. The article does a great job describing the topsy-turvy labor situation in China these days. The article starts out by setting the stage regarding the Chinese government's somewhat contradictory messages: Beijing is doing what it can to stanch the loss of jobs by downplaying some aspects of the new labor law and emphasizing others. Even before the economic downturn hit, companies complained that they would have to get rid of employees because the statute's social welfare provisions were a burden....

Wanna Get Sued In China? Your Ex-Employees Can Help.
2009-04-24 07:47:00 China Daily (h/t to my friend Brian over at China Challenges) just came out with an article headlined, "Cases soar as workers seek redress." The article gives facts behind what many of us already knew: "the number of labor disputes heard by courts has skyrocketed this year." I knew it because my firm's handling of such matters has probably just about doubled in just the last three months. According to the numbers, employee cases have increased by 59 percent over last year. The article rightly ascribes this increase to three things: 1) the economic downturn; 2) "Ever since the implementation of the Labor Contract Law in January 2008, workers have become more aware of their rights and the legal avenues available to safeguard them:" and 3) A reduction of costs for such suits to at most 10 yuan. We are finding that most of these cases arise from one (or more of the following): -- Firing of an employee for a reason not explicitly mentioned in the employer manual or not having a...
