Is it paid to be an apprentice in a nail salon?

According to the provisions of China's labor law, apprentices are also paid, and the wage distribution should follow the principle of distribution according to work and implement equal pay for equal work. Labor contracts must be signed and wages paid, which shall not be lower than the local minimum wage. Therefore, most apprentices are paid, but in some places they are not paid, and only basic living expenses are given.

According to Article 48 of the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the state implements the minimum wage guarantee system. The specific standard of the minimum wage shall be formulated by the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government and reported to the State Council for the record.

The wages paid by the employer to the workers shall not be lower than the local minimum wage.
