通 知
劳动部、人事部《关于进一步落实外商投资企业用人自主权的意见》，已经国务院批准。现转发给你们，请认真贯彻执行。

意 见（摘要）
为了改善投资环境，以利于沿海地区经济发展战略的贯彻实施，现就进一步落实外商投资企业用人自主权问题，提出如下意见：
一、外商投资企业需要的工人、专业技术人员和经营管理人员（包括高级管理人员），由企业面向社会公开招聘，也可以从中方合营者推荐的人员中选聘，在本地区招聘职工不能满足需要时，可以跨地区招聘。
二、外商投资企业从在职职工中招聘所需人员时，有关部门和单位应当积极支持，允许流动，不得采用不合理收费、收回住房等手段加以限制。如果原单位无理阻拦，被聘用职工可以提出辞职，辞职后其工龄可连续计算。如有争议，当事人可以向所在地区劳动争议仲裁委员会或当地政
府授权的人才交流服务机构申请仲裁，对仲裁决定，有关各方必须执行。必要时，可以由当地劳动、人事部门直接办理被聘用职工的调转手续。
三、外商投资企业跨省、自治区、直辖市招聘职工，不再报省级劳动、人事部门批准，有关地区的劳动、人事部门要做好组织、协调和服务工作。
四、中方企业同外商合营时，原企业的职工可由合营企业按照需要择优聘用。对未被聘用的人员，中方合营者和企业主管部门要妥善安置，当地政府应积极协助做好调剂工作。
五、外商投资企业按照合同和有关规定辞退职工，任何部门、单位或个人不得干预。对被辞退的职工，原属借调、借聘的，由原单位接收；属于应聘的，到应聘前所在地区的劳动服务公司或人才交流服务机构进行待业登记，可以由有关部门介绍就业、自愿组织起来就业，也可以自谋职
业。
六、对在中外合资经营、合作经营企业担任董事长、董事的中方人员，在任期内不得擅自调动他们的工作，如需调动时，委派单位应征求该企业的审批机构和合营他方的意见。外商投资企业聘用的中方高级管理人员，在其聘用合同期内，未经企业董事会和总经理同意，任何部门和单位
无权调动他们的工作。
七、本《意见》与国务院和原劳动人事部发布的有关条例和规定有抵触的，均按本《意见》执行。
八、各地区和有关部门应当加强宣传教育，使各级领导和广大职工提高认识，确保外商投资企业能够按照国际上通行的办法行使用人自主权。对于违反有关法规和本《意见》以及在招聘、辞退职工中搞不正之风的，应当进行批评教育，情节严重的，应根据实际情况追究法律责任或给予
行政处分。

CIRCULAR OF THE GENERAL OFFICE OF THE STATE COUNCIL ON THE
APPROVAL AND TRANSMISSION OF THE PROPOSALS SUBMITTED BY THE MINISTRY OF
LABOUR AND THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL CONCERNING FURTHER IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE POLICY OF GRANTING DECISION-MAKING POWER TO ENTERPRISES WITH FOREIGN
INVESTMENT FOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF WORKING PERSONNEL
(May 5, 1988)
The report entitled "Proposals Concerning Further Implementation of the
Policy of Granting Decision-Making Power to Enterprises with Foreign
Investment for the Employment of Working Personnel" submitted by the
Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Personnel has been approved by the
State Council. The Report is hereby transmitted to you for earnest
implementation.
PROPOSALS OF THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR AND THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL
CONCERNING FURTHER IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POLICY OF GRANTING DECISION-
MAKING POWER TO ENTERPRISES WITH FOREIGN INVESTMENT FOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF
WORKING PERSONNEL
(Excerpts)
In order to improve the investment environment to facilitate the
implementation of the strategy for the economic development in the coastal
areas, the following proposals are hereby made on further implementation
of the policy of granting decision-making power to enterprises with
foreign investment for the employment of working personnel:
(1) Workers, technical personnel and administrative personnel (including
senior administrative personnel) needed by enterprises with foreign
investment may be employed by the enterprises openly from society; the
enterprises may also select and employ their working personnel from among
the personnel recommended by the Chinese joint venturers, their business
partners. If the personnel employed from the local area cannot satisfy the
needs of the enterprises, working personnel may be employed trans-
regionally.

(2) In case that enterprises with foreign investment wish to employ
working personnel from among workers and staff members on job, the
departments and units concerned should give their active support and
permit their working personnel to leave. The aforesaid departments and
units should not impose any restrictions by charging payments or by taking
back rooms or houses. In case that the original unit attempts to obstruct
without any justification, workers or staff members who are employed by
the aforesaid enterprises may resign. After resignation, their years of
service shall still be counted without interruption. If any disputes
arise, the person concerned may apply to the labour dispute arbitration
committee in the local area, or to the service center for the exchange of
personnel authorized by the local government for arbitration. All parties
concerned must execute the arbitral award. If necessary, the transfer
formalities may be performed on behalf of the engaged workers and staff
members directly by the local labour or personnel departments.
(3) In case that enterprises with foreign investment go beyond the
province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central
Government to employ workers and staff members, it is no longer necessary
for them to submit their applications to the provincial department of
labour or personnel for approval; the labour or personnel departments of
the areas concerned should strive to do their organizational, coordinative
and service work well.
(4) When a Chinese enterprise establishes a joint venture with foreign
businessmen, the joint venture may select and employ the workers and staff
members of the original Chinese enterprise according to needs. The Chinese
side of the joint venture and the competent authorities over the joint
venture shall make proper arrangements for the placement of those workers
and staff members who are not employed; and the local government shall
take an active part in assisting the department concerned to do the
personnel regulation work.

(5) In the case that an enterprise with foreign investment dismisses
workers and staff members in accordance with the contract and relevant
provisions, no departments, units or individuals shall interfere. Of the
dismissed workers and staff members, those who were on loan or temporarily
employed shall be reaccepted by their original unit of work and those who
were directly hired by the joint venture shall register for a new job with
the local labour service company or the service center for the exchange of
personnel at their original place or be offered a new post through the
introduction of a department concerned, or organize themselves for self-
employment, or look for a job themselves.
(6) The Chinese personnel, who hold the position of chairman of the board
of directors or directors in a Chinese-foreign equity joint venture or in
a Chinese-foreign contractual joint venture, shall not be transferred
during their terms of office without authorization. If the transfer is
necessary, the appointing unit shall solicit the opinions of the examining
and approving organ of the said enterprise and of the foreign side of the
joint venture. No departments and units have the right to transfer senior
Chinese administrative personnel employed by an enterprise with foreign
investment, during their terms of office as stipulated in the contract, to
other positions without the consent of the said enterprise's board of
directors and of the general manager.
(7) If there is any conflict between these Proposals and the pertinent
regulations and provisions promulgated by the State Council and the former
Ministry of Labour and
Personnel, these Proposals shall prevail.
(8) Various areas and departments concerned should strengthen publicity
and education among the leading cadres at various levels and the broad
masses of workers and staff members for their better understanding of the
matter and ensure that enterprises with foreign investment can exercise
their decision-making power in selecting and employing working personnel
in accordance with the practice prevalent in the world. Those who violate
the pertinent laws and regulations and these Proposals, and use dishonest
methods or devious means in handling cases concerning the employment or
dismissal of workers and staff members, shall be criticized and
admonished. If the cases are serious, investigations shall be conducted
into the legal responsibilities of the persons concerned or disciplinary
sanctions shall be given to them, in accordance with the actual
circumstances.
