Strengthening of employers' responsibilities: Employers have the obligation to comply with labor laws, such as paying the minimum wage to foreign workers and enrolling them in the four major insurances.
Strengthening protection of foreign workers' rights and interests: Foreign workers can exercise their three labor rights and apply for remedy in case of unfair dismissal.
