Features: This year marks the 10th anniversary of the promulgation of the "Labor Law of the People's Republic of China." These ten years have been a period of rapid advancement in China's legal system construction, during which a large number of laws and regulations were formulated or revised. Meanwhile, major national policies and guidelines related to labor protection were continuously introduced during this decade. The medical reform led to the preliminary formation of the medical insurance system, the gradual abolition of the retirement system made old-age insurance a concern for everyone, and the increasing social competition provided basic living security for some through unemployment insurance. It can be said that China's social security system is gradually improving, yet it remains in an imperfect state. This has led more people to seek legal protection to safeguard their rights. To provide a powerful tool for ordinary people who are still at a disadvantage in advocating for their rights, we have compiled and published the sub-series "Law and Life Series" titled "Labor Self-Help Handbook," which includes five volumes covering all aspects of labor life. These volumes are: "Social Insurance Supervision · Work-related Injury · Medical Insurance," "Old-Age · Unemployment · Maternity Insurance," "Wages · Rest Time · Labor Disputes," "Labor Contracts · Labor Employment," and "Labor Safety · Labor Protection · Prevention and Treatment of Occupational Diseases." Each volume not only includes relevant laws, administrative regulations, departmental rules, and other regulatory documents but also collects some typical cases published by the Supreme People's Court or local courts on related topics to enhance the practicality of the series as a legal reference. At the same time, to better suit non-professional readers, we provide frequently asked questions before important laws, administrative regulations, and departmental rules to guide and help readers quickly find the key points of the regulations, enabling them to resolve practical issues more efficiently. We also add annotations to relevant terms in the regulations to assist general readers in understanding and applying the laws. We hope that our product can serve as a reliable self-help tool for you, a common laborer, when encountering related difficulties. Legal Publishing House Regulations Center, July 2004
