To avoid social responsibility, a few employers are constantly playing "flower heads" on the "four golds". Therefore, when signing a contract, job seekers need to be more careful to prevent their legitimate rights and interests from being violated.

Yang Zhiming, deputy minister of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, revealed at the National Labor Relations Working Conference that China must strive to achieve an annual increase of 15% in employee wages, so that it can strive to double the increase in employee wages during the 12th Five-Year Plan period.

Strive for a 15% annual increase in wages

Yang Zhiming said that we should further deepen the reform of the wage distribution system of enterprises with the core of raising the wages of ordinary employees in enterprises. Continue to focus on collective wage negotiations, and focus on non-public enterprises and labor-intensive enterprises, and strive to expand the coverage of collective wage negotiations, accelerate the establishment of a normal wage growth mechanism for enterprises, and achieve a wage growth of employees not less than the economic benefits of enterprises. The wage growth of front-line employees in enterprises is not lower than the average wage growth of enterprises. It is necessary to continue to release timely information on wage guidance lines in the region and wage guidance price levels in the human resources market to provide a basis for collective wage negotiations between enterprises and workers.

Yang Zhiming said that China must strive to achieve a 15% increase in employee wages so that it can double its wage growth during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period.

Since 2009, 13 provinces across the country have moderately adjusted the minimum wage standard, with an average increase of 22.8%.

Controlling high-level pay of state-owned enterprises

Regarding the formation of a reasonable and orderly wage and income distribution pattern during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, Yang Zhiming believes that this requires strengthening the management of the salaries and total wages of state-owned enterprise leaders. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is working hard to formulate measures for the reform of the total wages of state-owned enterprises, and to increase the dual control of total wages and wage levels in some industries with excessive income.

Yang Zhiming said that 90% of the heads of central enterprises in 2009 had an annual salary of more than one million yuan. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will endeavor to resolve the lack of standardization and self-determined annual salary of central enterprises, and decided to launch a trial operation of the enterprise salary survey system nationwide in 2009.

Achieving zero wages for migrant workers

Aiming at the problem of wage arrears of migrant workers, Yang Zhiming revealed a timetable to strive to achieve that there will be almost no arrears in wages of migrant workers in about 10 provinces such as Zhejiang, Tianjin, and Chongqing in 2009, and that more than half of the provinces will have no arrears in 2010. To achieve the goal of almost no arrears across the country.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security cooperated with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to set up the "malicious crime of wage arrears" in the criminal law, and used "crimes" to regulate the punishment of wage arrears.

Currently, 80% of the wages of migrant workers concentrated in construction enterprises, construction companies, especially large proportion of high-speed railway, highway, water conservancy, airports and other projects government debt caused. The human and social departments will focus on cooperating with the judicial department to implement the provisions of "the crime of wage arrears".
