collection, it shall be entitled to pay wages (salaries) and allowances related
thereto, such as social insurance, medical insurance... to the hired workers in
accordance with State regulations.

personnel or the workday sheet of the hired workers, the declaration of payment
of wages, allowances and other spendings, which is signed for certification by
the workers together with proper and valid documents as prescribed by the
