The present Labor Code and the decree on fines on administrative violations concerning labor does not specify clearly that foreigners have to obtain a work permit at every enterprise they work for. Instead, they only state generally that foreigners must obtain “work permit.” In line with this stipulation, that a foreigner is awarded a work permit is also considered as having “work permit.” However, regulations on the details of work permits have compelled working foreigners to obtain a work permit at each of the enterprises they work for—say, the content of the employment contract is not compatible with that in the work permit or the holder’s work is not compatible with the content of the work permit. Relying on these details, State management agencies have forced foreigners to have one work permit with each employer. … [Read more...] about New rules on working foreigner management
