Does the board of directors of a limited company have to have staff representatives?

Legal analysis: the board of directors of a limited company does not necessarily have employee representatives. Generally speaking, the board of directors of a limited liability company may (but not necessarily) include employee representatives. Only the board of directors of a wholly state-owned company or a limited liability company established by two or more state-owned enterprises or other two or more state-owned investors must include employee representatives, but there is no statutory limit on the proportion of employee representatives.

Legal basis: Article 40 of the Company Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) If a limited liability company establishes a board of directors, the shareholders' meeting shall be convened by the board of directors and presided over by the chairman; When the chairman is unable to perform his duties or fails to perform his duties, he shall be presided over by the vice chairman; If the vice chairman is unable to perform his duties or fails to perform his duties, more than half of the directors shall elect a director to preside over the meeting. Where a limited liability company does not have a board of directors, the shareholders' meeting shall be convened and presided over by the executive director. If the board of directors or the executive director is unable to perform or fails to perform the duties of convening the shareholders' meeting, it shall be convened and presided over by the board of supervisors or the supervisors of the company without the board of supervisors; If the Board of Supervisors or supervisors do not convene and preside over the meeting, shareholders representing more than one tenth of the voting rights may convene and preside over the meeting by themselves.
