Difference between Beijing Employment Agreement and Beijing Contractor Agreement
There are two basic types of relationships for obtaining the services of another. Beijing Employment Agreements state the terms of employment for an employee of a business in Beijing. Independent Contractor Agreements govern the terms of a job or project whereby a business engages a non-employee independent contractor to perform a specific task or project. The two forms of relationship are treated very differently under Chinese labor and employment law, and in contexts as diverse as payroll taxes and workers compensation, secondary liability for the acts of another, and intellectual property rights from works for hire.
