Points of note when signing a labor contract

(2025/5/2)

•Before signing a labor contract, foreign workers should negotiate with their employer for favorable work conditions and salary. The contract should only be signed after both parties have read it, have no misgivings and reach mutual agreement.

•If after signing a labor contract or starting work, a foreign worker finds the contract or related work to contain suspected illegal or unreasonable terms, they can seek help or relief through the 1995 Hotline, labor authorities, or the courts — without restriction.

If the labor contract contains the following unreasonable terms or demands, foreign workers should immediately seek help from the 1995 Hotline:

•The employer can terminate the contract early without prior notification or providing severance pay.

•The employer can prohibit the foreign worker from terminating the contract early but does not provide reasonable compensation.

•The employer can demand the worker gives up the right to file a complaint or a lawsuit.
