How to renew the contract when it expires, the parties can make an agreement in the contract and make it clear. There is no mandatory requirement by law that the contract must be renewed or not. Then the parties have a lot of randomness. Both parties to the contract may notify the other party to renew the contract orally or in writing within a reasonable period before the expiration of the contract. If the other party is willing to renew the contract, both parties can renew the contract. If one party does not agree to renew the contract, it will terminate at the expiration of the contract.

It should be emphasized that when the term of the labor contract is about to expire, the employer will issue a renewal intention according to law to maintain or improve the conditions stipulated in the labor contract. If the employee does not agree to renew the contract, the employer may not pay economic compensation. That is to say, if the employer and the employee renew the contract at the expiration of the labor contract and the employee refuses to renew it, the employer shall pay compensation to the employee after the expiration of the contract.
