(ECNS) - The Spring Festival, China's Lunar New Year, is known as a happy time for family gatherings, but the period will also see another peak in job hopping as workers receive their year-end bonuses, reported the Beijing Morning Post on Friday.

Other opportunities after the Lunar New Year may also be an important motivation for departing employees.

According to the Beijing Second Intermediate Court, about nine percent of the labor dispute cases it handles are related to issues of unpaid year-end bonuses and employment changes after China's most important festival.

It says that more than 70 percent of job-hoppers are under 35 years old and work in labor-intensive industries, namely construction, logistics, sales, catering, and the production and processing sectors.

To prevent labor disputes, employees should inform employers 30 days in advance and finish all necessary handovers before terminating their labor contracts, experts say.

Employee rights and obligations, such as positions, locations, salaries, benefits and performance measurement standards, should be confirmed in their new labor contracts when they move to other companies, the newspaper says.
