1. **No Skipping Social Insurance:** Any agreement *not* to pay social insurance is **void**, even if the company offers extra cash. If they later pay the insurance, you *must* return that extra cash.
2. **Foreign Workers:** To claim an employment relationship, you **must** have a valid work permit or permanent residency (PR). Illegal workers aren’t protected.
3. **No Written Contract? Double Pay!** If your company didn’t sign a written labor contract with you, you can demand **double your salary** for the period without it.
4. **Watch Out for Contract Tricks!** Signing a *second* fixed-term contract with the *same company* (or a *different company* owned by your boss) while doing the *exact same job* counts as consecutive contracts. *Why?* Bosses do this to avoid paying full severance later.
5. **Non-Compete Clauses:** If your job **didn’t involve** company secrets or intellectual property, you can challenge a non-compete clause. (e.g., A teacher told she couldn’t work elsewhere in the city by business secret,we check all her work content,just tell her free to leave, as teaching isn’t a core secret).
