[quote=APAULT,280606]If you have problems with your employer you have a right to contact the Foreign Affairs Bureau foir arbitration, after having failed to solve the issues together. I do not know of anyone who has done this. I would suggest that it is a good idea to quit and lose half a month's salary, there is even a procedure for transferring your residency permit (the Z visa has been canelled already) to be held by a new employer. I have met and heard of several people who have done this. As you will forfeit half a months pay, he is only entitled to 4000rmb and unlikely to come chasing it if you are elsewhere! The following two paras are taken from http://www.mykindachina.com/news/info.php?id=125 (incidentally, he should have called their bluff and contacted the city Foreign Affairs Bureau who would probably have forced a change of mind in the Police (the references to work visa should really be residency permit, as the employer must get you this within 30 days of your arrival in China and a residents permit is issued instead. Quote: Some of the teachers, understandably, just left (due to other problems, as well). They gave decent notice and let the school know that this wasn't what they signed on for. The school made them cancel their work visa before continuing with their journeys - by telling them they had to take their visa to the PSB and downgrade it to a tourist visa. DON’T LET YOUR SCHOOL DO THIS. For those in the know, these teachers got quite a shock when they were told they had to fly to Hong Kong in order to renew their work visas. For those of you not in the know: Your employer sponsors your work visa. All you need to do is notify your local PSB (Public Security Bureau) of the problems you are having and that you will be signing with a new school. The new school will then have your visa transferred to them or they will simply renew it for you. This way, you aren't required to leave the mainland to renew. [/quote]
