On November 30 2011, the PRC Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued a new regulation which created a new rule for settling labour disputes inside enterprises. This will have a large influence on almost all enterprises in China, including many foreign-invested companies.
The main idea of the Provisions for Consultation and Mediation of Enterprise Labour Disputes (企业劳动争议协商调解规定), which came into force on January 1 2012, is to provide a means for the immediate internal settlement of labour disputes within enterprises.
