Chemical Fiber The new Labor Contract Law has been implemented since January 1 this year. Our correspondent asked some employees for their feedback on the new Labor Contract Law. Mr. Liu is from Shandong province. For a time, he wanted to change his job because of he was not confident about whether his rights and interest can be ensured. With the implantation of the new Labor Law, he is not ready to change his job. Liu Quansheng,Dafa Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd: We are reassured. We can resort to the new Labor Contract Law and local government to solve problems of employment. ;Zheng Weihan,Meipeilin Bearing Co., Ltd: The company is very considerate and pays insurance for us, including endowment insurance and work injury insurance. This helps us to stay in present company and work hard for it. Besides wage and insurance, there are other stipulations in the new Labor Contract Law are considered to be helpful to employees.According to the new Labor Contract Law, employers must sign contracts with their employees within a month, otherwise, they should pay double wage to their employees. For employees, work for more than one year without signing contracts with their employers can be explained they have signed contracts with indefinite time limit. Several industries with high added value say that they these stipulations can be acceptable.Zhang Guohua, Human Resource Department, Dafa Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd, says: I feel the new Labor Law has not brought any fluctuation to our employees. However, the new Labor Contract Law has brought certain pressure on some labor-intensive industries. Hu Lihong, Office Director, Wuhuan Bearing Group, Zhejiang, says: We paid more than 2 million Yuan of insurance for our employees. In addition, we raised the employees’ wage by 1,200,000 to 1,300,000 Yuan and more than 500,000 Yuan of other forms of benefits. All these mean we have to pay nearly 4 million Yuan, which is, I think, a burden for an enterprise.
