New standard document on cross-border secondment
| Law stated as at 23 Mar 2017 • China |
Practical Law China has published a new standard document on cross-border secondment.
We have published Standard document, Letter of secondment: China.
This is a sample cross-border letter of secondment to be used in an expatriate context where a foreign national employee is temporarily assigned from overseas to work in a Chinese subsidiary while remaining employed by the original foreign employer.
The drafting notes in this document address key issues of a typical China-specific cross-border secondment, including:
- Rights and benefits of a secondee.
- Necessary immigration-related documents.
- The secondee's duties at the host and reporting lines.
- Avoiding the tax liabilities of a permanent establishment.
- Termination of the employment and secondment.
