Job seekers need to be cautious about recruitment, interviews, internships, etc., which require payment of fees in advance, and verify whether there is a basis for fees.

If the fee is paid, it is required to issue a formal invoice and affix the official seal of the unit, so as to retain evidence for possible disputes and rights protection.

In addition, the employer should be required to hand over a copy of the employment contract to the employee for retention.

7. Probationary period traps

Some employers have agreed on a long probationary period beyond the statutory upper limit, or have repeatedly agreed on a probationary period. Some employers use the probationary period as an excuse to pay wages lower than the minimum wage set by the local government, or do not pay social insurance. In order to reduce the cost of employment, some employers recruit a large number of fresh college graduates, and agree on lower wages during the probationary period, and then dismiss them for various reasons after the probationary period is over.

Precautionary Tips:

Job seekers can check the basic information of the employer through the company's official website, media reports, industrial and commercial registration information, etc., carefully screen all kinds of recruitment information, and do not blindly and credulously. When applying for a job, you should ask about the job information and work content in detail, and you can't just look at the surface to avoid finding that the actual work is different from the expectation after joining the company.
