China Foreign Teachers Have 15 Employee Rights That Bans Abuse & Exploitation By Employers & Recruiters. Do YOU know your rights?

 Were you looking for:


We first wrote about this issue back in 2014 but apparently some hackers were hired to corrupt and redirect our links since most employers and recruiters do not want you to have this information. So please save this link here and be sure you know all of your employee rights guaranteed by the Chinese Ministry of Labor - including your most recent protections granted by China's Privacy Act which prohibits the use of your personal image in any promotional publications on printed materials and on the Internet without your express written consent.

Here are your basic 15 rights extrapolated from 367 pages of China Labor Law and the most recent amendments:
1. You have the right to seek and obtain employment if legally allowed to do so after obtaining a work visa (Z visa) and resident permit.
2. You have the right to work in a safe work environment.
3. You have a right to be provided a written work schedule in advance.
4. You have a right speak with management about safety concerns
5. You have a right to sick, holiday, and maternity leave & pay
6. You have a right to resign your position in accordance with the law
7. You have a right to request job training
8. You have a right to pay your taxes to the government authorities and to file a grievance with the Labor Arbitration Authority in your Province
.
9. You have the right to be compensated for overtime hours worked and may not be compelled to work said hours if not stipulated in your employment agreement.
10. You have the right to receive an original hard copy of your contract that is signed and chopped (red sealed) at the time you sign an employee agreement.
11. You have the right to receive a written job description prior to signing your
contract.
12. You cannot be compelled nor forced to do anything not specified in your job description.
13. Your probationary period cannot exceed one month for each year of your employment contract.
14. You have the right to receive both an invitation letter and release letter free of charge.
15. If hired by a duly authorized employer you have a right to be provided a work visa (Z Visa) prior to the commencement of your assigned duties. 

WHAT DO THESE RIGHTS PROTECT YOU FROM?

* Unpaid Overtime
* Being Used As A Marketing Monkey
* Having your personal image used in promotions
* Having your personal information disclosed to third parties
* Not getting a copy of your original chopped contract in English
* Not knowing the ownership identification of your employer
* Not knowing the SAIC business license No.of your employer
* Not being provided a written job description
* Being told to lie to customers about your citizenship or credentials
* Being given illegal probationary periods exceeding 30 days
* Being forced to sign illegal contracts

* Not being provided medical insurance as a full-time employee
* Not being paid within 48 working hours of a regular payday
* Illegal deductions and "deposits" withheld from your pay
* The right to see your employment tax records and receipts
But as a China foreign teacher you also have responsibilities to be:
1) Legally qualified to teach in China
2) Punctual and prepared for your classes
3) Always sober and professional in appearance
4) Friendly, polite, and respectful with parents, staff, and students

The Best Paying Jobs in China for Foreigners - Top 100 List Rated By Expats including ESL & TEFL Teaching Employers Directory

Where are the best paying China  jobs for 
foreigners and how to find them for free?

Well, first off you will NOT find them here:

TheBeijinger.com
Echinacities.com
Gumtree.com
Craigslist.com
LaowaiCareerCenter.com
ChinaTEFLSearch.com
ESLCafe.com
Reddit.com
ChinaJobs.com
SinoCities.com

What you WILL find at the above sites are a variety of scams and identity thieves and resume brokers who will sell your resume to hundreds of fly by night virtual employers looking for cheap teachers or telesales people. The calls and emails become endless and you will end up changing your phone number.  

The fact is that the best jobs in China are NOT advertised at all - anywhere.  You will not find them from outside China.  You must be here to meet and impress people with your skills, charm, and abilities. Perhaps a veteran expat will take you under his/her wing and introduce you in the small professional circles of expats. For now, we can only tell you where NOT to work and why based on 12 years of work and living experience in China. Start here and work backwards: 


Good luck to you, and share this link with others if it helps you stay out of problems in China.  Btw... BEFORE sending your resume or passport scan to anyone in China, be sure you read this first http://chinascamwatch.wordpress.com

How much money do foreign ESL & TEFL teachers in China really earn?

Are You Looking For:


The most popular answer is "Not Enough" but the correct answer depends on you, your qualifications and your gullibility!  Here is the short answer... If you are a native English speaker from America, Canada, Australia, and the UK AND you find your own gig without using one of the many fake low-ball ads you find at one of the fake 4 expat job sites, you will earn an average of $40,000 a year. If however you rely on an unlicensed agent to find you work or you respond to one of those ridiculous ads, you will get snookered and have yourself a salary of $15,000 to $25,000 per annum.
So to avoid being taken to the cleaners you need to educate yourself at these links and then be sure you get what you want and deserve - a fair compensation package that must include a Z visa, housing, (or a 3,000 yuan monthly housing allowance) and medical insurance. Start reading...
Then make sure whatever school you are interested in provides you a Z visa BEFORE you land in China and are on our white list, or rather NOT on our blacklist (See links at top of this post)  Avoid agents if at all possible and you will earn more. If you must use an agent, then be sure to read this here: http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?644846-China-Job-Recruiter-amp-Visa-Agent-Scams-25-Red-Flag-Warnings

Generally speaking you will earn more money working at a kindergarten and international schools and less money working for private schools - but not always.  If you want some more detailed advice and recommendations, send an email to currentjobs[at]chinaforeignteachersunion.org

Can I teach ESL or TEFL as a Foreign English Teacher in China WITHOUT a university degree or Z Visa?

Yes but not legally... and 50% of expat teachers in China are now being randomly check by the PSB (Public Security Bureau)  If you are caught working without a Z Visa or a fake university degree, here is what happens to you...

1.  ARRESTED & JAILED FOR 30 DAYS



2.  RELEASED AFTER YOU PAY $2,000 FINE

3.  DEPORTED WITHIN 30 DAYS AS A CONVICTED FELON AND GIVEN A 2-5 YEAR RE-ENTRY BAN FROM CHINA


The many unlicensed "black" China job agents and recruiters will try to tell you that this never happens. Guess again!  In 2014 over 2,100 expat foreign teachers were deported and in 2015 almost 2,300 were deported. 80% of them were for fake diplomas or no Z visas. Here are some of them...
