In this episode of our Cross-Border Catch-Up podcast series, Skye Hao (associate, Atlanta) is joined by Carlos Colón-Machargo (of counsel, Atlanta) to discuss employee leave benefits in China, including care leaves for families. Skye and Carlos address employees’ paid annual leave entitlements based on their years worked in the workforce, additional types of paid leave that employers might use to attract talent or to standardize global leave policies, carry-over rules for accrued but unused statutory annual leave, leave for 11 national holidays, and the benefits and drawbacks of providing various types of leaves such as sick, maternity, parental, and caregiver leaves.
