Q: In China, are there special days off for getting married and for first child?

Hello all, I am interested in knowing the labor laws in China for men employees and whether they get a few days off work when they plan on getting married and having a baby?

My fiancé and I are expecting our first baby that will be born in Europe and we will get married at the same time. I was wondering if he was entitled to some days off for either one or both of these special occasions?

I heard there were a couple of days for the first baby and a couple of days for getting married. Is that correct? Where can I find the updated info?

I thank you in advance for all your answers and help,

government employees get this privilege but not most private employers, also contract employees would have to have it stipulated in the contract ie enlish teachers.

Hi there - I have a Chinese friend who works for an NGO that basically got 1 month off work to look after his wife and newborn after she gave birth. I thought that was quite generous in fact but I'm not sure whether they were paid or not

Q: When do you need to get a medical examination?

A: Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before

A:Your potential employer is right! Demand for Medical exam before granting Z visa is to make sure, you won't be entering China in any abnormal and harmful to others condition.Few days after your arrival to China, you'll be required to complete another ME ... If ME in China will be OK, you'll get a Residence permit stamp into your book some 10-days afterwards. Imagine, you're an employer, who can sponsor my entry and work in China, but after my arrival to China, it would be found I carry some sickness, which would prevent Chinese .gov to issue a Residence permit. Rule is: Z visa should be converted into Residence permit in 30-days after entry to China. So, my advice is:"Complete ME in your home country and forward medical results to your employer".Z visa grant will follow shortly afterwards. Employer is not wrong at their demand for the pre-arrival ME from your home country hospital. -- icnif77
