i read that there was a change recently stating that they're supposed to deduct social insurance as well and contribute to it themselves but this costs them quite a bit.
I'm in a strange position myself. If everything is done correctly my deduction should be around 25% higher. This definitely means that they are either not paying my insurance or over taxing me.
I don't want to raise the issue as they might start deducting more but what I have done is ask for a stamped letter each month stating all my details, total income and tax deducted.
If I do ever run into trouble at least i'll have something official from the school illustrating what they have been doing.
check this out..

Personally I would demand your salary be paid directly into a bank account - it's safer and I think it would force the company into paying your tax. Then there are no risks.
If they [FAO] won't (why wouldn't they!?), ask a Chinese teacher, or friend. It really is easy. I was so scared of the process after reading so much BS on forums about how hard it was, it took me 3.5 years to pluck up the courage to send all my money home. |
Unfortunately, not every FAO will take the time to help the FT with his banking (or anything) after he's hired. Requesting that one's salary be deposited directly to a bank account might be a good idea. It will force the FAO to pay the taxes. The FAO can't be compelled to do this, though.
This is one of the problems of working at some public universities. |

FAO stands for Foreign Affairs Officer or Foreign Affairs Office. MOST public universities have one. Privately held businesses such as language schools (EF, Wall Street English, WEB international) won't have one, and I don't think they report to even the City FAO (the head FAO) though the City FAO is often located in the same building as (or very close to) the city hall where the PSB is located.
FAO's are usually authorized to hire foreign teachers. Those who cannot will rely upon one of the senior party FAO's to find teachers for their school. When fresh fish can't be recruited, that's when FTs end up commuting to other schools that are sometimes located in other cities. (Yes, that happens).
The position of FAO is a political one. One must be a member of the Communist party. A lot of the time you'll see 26-28 year-old bimbos in the position. Generally, they're either someone who is playing the part because of their advanced English skills or they're an actual FAO but who reports to someone else higher up the school administrative chain, though they're supposed to be separate from the school. I worked for a school whose real FAO rarely came to the school, spoke no English, and left the responsibility of taking care of the FTs to a 28 year-old bimbo. She created such a nightmare that people left before their contracts were finished. |

11 years in China, difference cities, many different banks, and never once have I been asked for my contract, tax receipts, or anything. I don't know what this guy is talking about being unable to convert money.
We can't all have the same experiences, especially when some are in a very different orbit and make it clear on every post that that they ARE in a different, and much wider, highly elliptical orbit.
Nine years, six cities, six public schools every bank in town... Forget it.
I am not trained to deal with this. It's listed in DSM-5.
tlkdmc, I suggest that we avoid each other in this forum. Let's agree upon one thing: we shall not attempt to engage each other directly or indirectly. This is a reasonable request, one that the mods will support.
Happy Every Day, Man of Letters.
What's sad as that you so unstable as to read this with without the need of meds apparently. What fears exactly are your issue(s). Anger management? Is this related to your need to work in a far-off land like China - issues back home? Such a simple concept that has you running to the hills with the desire to seek mods that will support you.
Amazing you are so influenced. I DO KNOW the DSM-5 and I'd be happy to give you a differential diagnosis if you'd answer some questions, but I'm guess patience and ability to sit down and take the inventory is also an issue. I can guess.
Using that mundane, grammatically incorrect "Happy Every Day..." quote the Chinese use, only increases my questions |
Not a different orbit - a different planet. Must be one of those 'dark matter' planets where everything works in reverse to the real world. Only been here 11 years - still wet behind the ears.
Your spaceship awaits!! |
