Employment Contract Chinese Translation and Notarization, Chinese-to-Korean Document Translation, and Apostille Guide for Overseas Contracts
Employment Contract Consultation Case with a Chinese Corporation
The client needed the contract period, salary, working hours, leave, workplace, and termination conditions to be accurately conveyed in Chinese.
Employment contracts usually contain longer sentences and carry greater legal significance than certificates of employment or payslips, making them difficult to handle through simple word-for-word translation alone.
Why Accurate Employment Contract Translation Is Important
An employment contract is a document that defines the rights and obligations of an employer and an employee.
If the meaning of even one sentence changes, the interpretation of salary, working hours, the contract period, and termination conditions may also change.
Accurate translation is important not only for contracts between Chinese companies and Korean employees, but also for contracts between Korean companies and Chinese employees.
Chinese-to-Korean Translation Rates
If the original Chinese document contains 500 words, it is calculated as one page, at approximately KRW 15,000.
500 ÷ 500 = 1 page
Approximately KRW 15,000
If the document contains 750 words, it is calculated as 1.5 pages.
750 ÷ 500 = 1.5 pages
Basic proportional calculation based on volume: approximately KRW 22,500
For Korean-to-Chinese translation, the rate is approximately KRW 20,000 per 220 words of Korean source text.
Because employment contracts can be lengthy and contain complex clauses, the actual quotation is determined after reviewing the complete document.
Contract Terms That Must Be Carefully Checked
Contracting parties
Company name
Employee name
Contract period
Workplace
Job duties
Working hours
Break times
Salary
Allowances
Payment date
Leave
Social insurance
Confidentiality
Contract termination
Dispute resolution
Date of signing
Among these items, salary, the contract period, and termination conditions require particularly careful translation.
Rights Not Included in the Original Text Must Not Be Added
When translating a contract, excessive paraphrasing intended to make the wording sound more natural can alter its legal meaning.
Meanings such as “guarantees” or “has an obligation to,” when they do not exist in the original document, must not be added. Likewise, conditions stated in the original text must not be omitted.
Amounts, currencies, and payment schedules must also be checked carefully.
Documents Commonly Translated Together
Employment contracts are often translated together with certificates of employment, employment verification letters, and personnel appointment notices.
For employment-related screening or review, graduation certificates, academic transcripts, certificates of career experience, and qualification certificates may also be prepared.
For matters involving local corporations in China, business registration certificates, corporate documents, and other commercial contracts may also be translated together.
Translation Notarization and Apostille
Because an employment contract is a private document, it is important to confirm exactly what type of authentication is required by the receiving institution.
The basic fee for translation notarization is approximately KRW 40,000.
Apostille services in Korea generally start at approximately KRW 30,000. However, for private documents, the required notarization and authentication procedures must be reviewed according to the nature of the document.
