作者：姜俊禄 黄依心 金杜律师事务所商务合规部
《菲律宾星报》2017年7月31日报道，菲律宾劳动就业部30日发布报告称，中国打算聘请菲律宾家政服务人员前往北京、上海、厦门等五个大城市就业，双方正在研究为受聘的菲律宾家政服务员提供最高10万比索月薪（约合1.3万人民币）的可能性。这一报道虽未得到官方的肯定回应，但引发了极大关注。
菲律宾的家政培训体系完善，菲佣大都有较高的文化素养和专业技能，菲佣因此被誉为“世界上最专业的保姆”。此外，菲佣较高的英语能力对孩子的英语学习也很有帮助。相比于“好吃懒做、闲言碎语不断”的国内保姆，菲佣无疑会成为国内一些家庭的“优秀雇员”。2016年9月，菲律宾劳工及就业部长贝鲁曾透露，在中国大陆工作的菲佣接近20万人。然而，这个惊人数字背后的鲜活个体，她们的工作是合法的吗？

张先生打小就是大多数父母眼里“别人家的孩子”，聪明、懂事、成绩好。1995年的一天，意气风发的小张怀揣理想、背上行囊，踏上了赴美求学的道路。一晃20多年过去了，一路功成名就且已加入美籍的张先生最近却郁郁寡欢起来。身为高级技术人才的他近期被北京中关村一家用人单位高薪聘请，张先生心里乐开了花。本想借工作之便长期定居中国，一来方便照看日渐年迈的双亲，二来可以搭乘国内经济发展的快车寻求更好的职业发展，但重返故土定居这一路上却障碍重重：
办理中国工作签证的手续复杂，且签证的期限还比较短，需要频繁地延长或更新，否则就构成非法居留；除了签证，在国内就业还需再办理就业许可，工作稍有变动就需要更新证件；处理这些证件费钱、费时，还误事不说，张先生在国内买张高铁票、看个小病都成了头疼的大事。
