Our Beyond Borders podcast series is designed to help you manage your international workforce and navigate the quirks of international employment law.

In this episode, we explore performance management under PRC law, including the high threshold for dismissing employees for incompetence, the role of Performance Improvement Plans, and key issues around overtime pay and non-compete clauses. While the law sets clear principles, many practical details remain undefined, creating challenges for employers.
