Nowadays, how to ensure compliance with laws when using human resources (“HR”) is a hot topic for multinational corporations (“MNCs”). Since the Personal Information Protection Law of the PRC (“PIPL”) came into effect in 2021, a series of new compliance requirements have been put forward for MNCs processing employees' personal information in the context of HR management, posing fresh challenges for meeting the needs of centralized HR management under the framework of the PRC laws. It's a relief that the recent development of legislation has provided some much-needed answers, and we will look at ten frequently asked questions about processing employees' personal information based on such new development for MNCs to consider.
