Shenzhen has introduced new Housing Provident Fund Management Measures governing employer registration, employee account setup, contribution calculations, and reporting requirements. Employers must register within 30 days of establishment and open employee accounts within 20 days following registration approval. Contribution rates may be adjusted annually, and financially distressed employers may apply for temporary reductions or payment deferrals.
Implication: Employers operating in Shenzhen should review payroll and housing fund administration procedures to ensure compliance with the new requirements.
