From the South China Morning Post, via China Study Group: “The mainland is cracking down on bosses who withhold wages by ruling they must pay an extra 50 to 100 per cent of the amount owed to workers if they miss a payment deadline set by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security.
The rule is part of a State Council labour regulation that will take effect on December 1. The rules also allow government authorities to inspect companies and private businesses as a way of protecting workers’ rights in an oversupplied labour market.”
