職校生實習工資設底線 不得低於試用工資80%

China will protect the interests of student interns from vocational schools by stipulating the minimum wage during their internships, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced on last Wednesday.

教育部上週三宣佈，我國將保護實習中的職業學校學生的權益，制定實習最低工資標準。

The salary for student interns should be no less than 80 percent of the probationary wage for regular employees in the same position, said a circular co-released by the MOE along with another four central departments.

根據教育部聯合其他四部門發佈的規定，實習學生的工資不得低於相同崗位正式員工試用期工資標準的80%。

The regulation is the first of its kind, aimed at avoiding exploitation of students through cheap labor, the ministry said.

教育部稱，這是首個有關實習學生報酬底線的規定，旨在避免學生淪爲廉價勞動力、被用人單位剝削。

Vocational schools and employers hiring interns are also forbidden from charging deposits of any kind, including salary commissions and management fees, the regulation said.

規定要求，職業院校和實習單位不得向學生收取實習押金、管理費或者其他形式的實習費用。

Student interns should account for no more than 20 percent of total employees in a company, and internships in entertainment venues such as bars, night clubs and bath centers are strictly prohibited, according to the regulation.

在具體崗位頂崗實習的學生人數不高於同類崗位在崗職工總人數的20%。該規定還嚴禁安排學生到酒吧、夜總會、洗浴中心等營業性娛樂場所實習。

Interns, vocational schools and employers must sign a tripartite agreement before the internship to draw clear lines of responsibility and protect students' rights.

此外，規定還指出，在學生實習之前，職業學校、實習單位、學生應三方簽訂協議，以此來明確各方的責任，保護學生的權利。
