Common situations
These groups run into cross-border labor questions most often.
Seconded employees
Signed with a PRC parent company and posted abroad, now facing dismissal or unpaid wages.
Graduates returning to China
Dismissed or not renewed after signing in China, and need severance and leave figures.
Overseas Chinese
Living abroad while a PRC labor dispute is still within time, and unsure where to bring it.
How the rules work
Understand the rule first, then use the calculator.
What N, N+1 and 2N mean
A plain-language explanation of N, N+1 and 2N in PRC employment practice: how service is rounded, how the calculation base works, which termination routes produce each figure, and the common misunderstandings.
Dismissed without 30 days notice: how pay in lieu works
When the extra month applies, how it is measured, and what it is not: the Article 40 route, its relationship with N and 2N, and the situations where no +1 arises.
Why overtime in China uses 21.75 days
Where 21.75 comes from, why 20.83 is different, how the hourly rate is derived, when 150% / 200% / 300% apply, and how comprehensive and flexible working hours change the analysis.
