China: details of the regulation clarifying the provisions on labor-leasing

First, the temporary regulation defines the percentage of appeal to labor-leasing in the user company.  Confirming that direct employment should remain the rule, and that labor-leasing is only a supplement, the regulations states that appeal to this form of employment cannot exceed 10 percent of the workforce.  It provides for a 2-year transition period after enforcement for businesses exceeding this limit to get in line.  During this period, they have to inform the local labor administration of their adjustment plan.  They can’t get more leased labor as long as they don’t lower that rate.
