Our services
For employers with their own entityWhere there is no entity yet, employment runs through a licensed dispatch provider instead — a different arrangement, not a variant.
This service is for employers who already hold their own Chinese entity and are therefore the legal employer of their staff. Where there is no entity yet, employment itself has to run through a licensed dispatch provider — that is our Employer of Record (EOR) and Payroll engagement, and it is a different arrangement with a different legal structure, not a variant of this one.
Three calendars that do not alignWithholding, social insurance, and housing fund each have their own base, rules, and deadlines.
Payroll here runs on three separate calendars that do not align with one another: individual income tax withholding, social insurance, and housing fund each have their own base, their own rules for what counts as includable, and their own deadlines. Most errors are not arithmetic — they are an item classified into the wrong base, which then repeats every cycle until something surfaces it, by which point the correction spans a year rather than a month.
Reconciled before releaseEach run checked against the prior cycle before it goes out, not after a payslip is queried.
We process the cycle, compute the withholding, administer the contributions, and reconcile each run against the prior one before it is released rather than after somebody queries a payslip. Where the employer also has people outside Hainan, we handle the Hainan-connected population and coordinate with whoever runs the rest, rather than claiming a footprint we do not have.
Filings through the licensed firmStatutory submissions carried by the licensed provider, with our reconciliation in front of them.
The statutory filings that attach to payroll are carried by the licensed firm that handles the entity's tax compliance, with our reconciliation sitting in front of them. Contribution bases and rates are set locally and adjusted periodically; we work from the rates currently in force for the relevant registration rather than carrying a prior year's forward.

Case study
Converting an EOR Arrangement to a Direct Entity Without a Coverage Gap
A foreign employer had grown its Hainan headcount under an employer-of-record arrangement and needed to transfer staff to its own newly formed entity without a break in social insurance or housing fund contributions.
