Answering all your questions about independent contractor agreements in China

You probably have questions. We’re here to answer them. Below, you’ll learn all the extra stuff you should probably know before putting together an independent contractor agreement for China.

Why do I need an independent contractor agreement in China?

With any project, it’s important to have a clear set of rules in place to avoid any issues down the line—and hiring talent in China is no different. Due to their strict rules for an independent contractor relationship, it is very important to cover every key detail in the contractor agreement. Compensation, payment method, a timeline of the project, and individual responsibilities are just some of the elements that should be included.

Chinese laws on client-contractor relationships can be very particular. To avoid legal stumbling blocks with the talent you hired, it is important to have a transparent written document that will help you navigate your cooperation. It's always better to have everything spelled out in writing, not just when tapping into the Chinese talent pool, but also anywhere around the world. 

What do contractor agreements in China typically need to have?

Every contractor agreement in China (and, the rest of the world) can be broken up into two parts:

  • Contract-specific variables: This includes things like scope of work, rate, and deadline. They’re the project-specific variables that you’ll include with each contract, and are totally dependent on what type of work you’re hiring a contractor to do.
  • Everything else: Besides things like scope and deadline, every independent contractor agreement in China should follow a similar structure. If you want to grab your own contract with a compliant structure for China, sign up to Panther for $0.
What makes contractors different from employees in China?

If you're hiring in China, you might be wondering whether to hire someone as an employee or an independent contractor. The good news is that hiring as a contractor can make things a lot easier for both of you. You'll have a smoother working relationship and everything can be set up much faster, usually within a few days or weeks rather than a few months.

Here are a few of the key things that make contractors different from employees in China:

  • Contractors can set their own schedules
  • Contractors can work with their own software and tools 
  • Contractors can work for other clients 
  • Contractors rarely receive benefits, like health insurance*

All of these factors make contractors a great choice for many businesses. The person you hired will be much more autonomous, which is usually the biggest factor in achieving their full potential. As for you, you’ll end up with an effective and satisfied remote team, an enjoyable work environment, and a thriving business. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved! 

*With Panther, you can get your contractors access to sign up for premium global health insurance, from SafetyWing, at a 50% discount.
