Q: If a private placement service institution accepts the appointment of the employer and mid-level worker to provide service in processing the employment, is the content of service different from that for migrant workers? Is it necessary to enter into a written agreement?

Answer:

1. The application for employment of mid-level technical workers will be the same as for migrant workers in the application and management after arrival of the workers unless otherwise provided by Article 23 and Article 24 of the Regulations Governing the Permission and Management of Employing Foreigners or specified under applicable legal rules. Placement service rendered by intermediaries to the appointment of the employers or the mid-level technical workers shall be the same as the service for migrant workers.
2. According to Article 21 of the Regulations Governing the Permission and Management of Private Placement Service Institutions, private placement service institutions shall enter into written agreement in accepting the appointment of placement service of mid-level technical workers on the terms and conditions of service.
