Protect your rights as a foreign teacher in China - You may be entitled to double severance pay
Get Free Legal Assessment⚡ Know your rights within 24 hours
Many schools deliberately don't renew foreign teacher contracts to avoid paying summer salaries and benefits. This is often ILLEGAL under Chinese labor law.
Your school suddenly decides not to renew your contract despite good performance, claiming "budget cuts" or "policy changes" right before summer break.
The timing is suspicious - they terminate just before summer to avoid paying your contracted summer salary and benefits.
They offer you a "new" contract with significantly worse terms - lower pay, more classes, or reduced allowances.
They claim there's "no position" for you but then immediately hire a cheaper teacher for the same role.
They pressure you to "voluntarily" resign or not renew, claiming it's "better for everyone" or threatening bad references.
They fail to give you proper advance notice about non-renewal as required by Chinese labor law.
These Are Often Violations of Chinese Labor Law
If your school terminates you illegally or without proper cause, you're entitled to double the normal severance pay under Chinese Labor Contract Law Article 87.
This could mean up to 24 months of salary depending on your service length
If the school chooses not to renew your contract without offering the same or better conditions, they must pay you severance compensation.
1 month salary for each year of service (minimum)
If they offer renewal with significantly worse terms (lower pay, fewer benefits), and you refuse, you're still entitled to severance pay.
They must offer equal or better conditions, or pay severance
