涉外劳动争议中中国劳动法律规范的适用

有关涉外劳动关系的法律适用问题，中国法律规定比较简单，已有的规定之间存在冲突。涉外劳动争议，主要适用劳动者工作地的法律。在中国境内履行的涉外劳动合同，一般适用中国劳动法律规范。中国劳动法律规范中的所有强制性规定是否都必须适用于在境内履行的涉外劳动合同存在争议。在中国境外履行的涉外劳动合同，一般适用外国劳动法律规范。当外国法所规定的劳动基准低于中国劳动法律规范中所规定的最低标准时，则可以直接适用中国劳动法律规范中的强制性规定。

On the Application of Chinese Labor Laws in the Foreign-related Labor Dispute

The stipulations on the applicable law to foreign-related labor relation in Chinese law are rather simple, and there are conflicts between the existing provisions.Foreign-related labor dispute is mainly governed by the law of country in which the employee carries out his work in performance of contract. In a case where an employee who works in China, dispute regarding his/her labor contract may be governed by Chinese labor and employment laws. However, it is a controversial problem that whether all of the mandatory rules in Chinese labor and employment laws should apply to the labor contract which the place of contract performance is in China. Foreign-related labor contract which the place of contract performance is outside of China may be governed by the foreign labor laws. While the labor standards in foreign law are lower than those in China, it can be directly governed by the mandatory rules in Chinese labor laws.
