According to the law, once the labor contract is signed, each party holds one copy. If the employer fails to provide it, the laborer has the right to complain to the labor administrative department and demand that the employer be ordered to make corrections and deliver the contract text. If damage is caused to the laborer, the employer shall also bear the corresponding liability for compensation. Therefore, in the absence of a copy of the labor contract, workers should promptly communicate with the company's personnel department to ask for it, or complain to the labor inspection department to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
