Event Invitation | Retirement Disputes and Risk Mitigation for Over-Age Employment – Legal & Tax Implications

As China’s population aging deepens and the gradual delayed retirement policy is implemented, the employment landscape facing enterprises is undergoing profound changes. Recently, the Interim Provisions on Basic Rights Protection for Over-Age Workers, jointly issued by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other relevant departments, officially took effect on July 1, 2026, providing a clearer legal framework for the protection of over-age workers’ rights while also bringing new compliance challenges to enterprises.

To assist enterprises in systematically addressing compliance issues in post-retirement rehiring and over-age employment, and to effectively mitigate legal and tax-related risks, D’Andrea & Partners Legal Counsel and PHC Advisory, together with EUCCC Shanghai, will jointly hold a seminar on “Retirement Disputes and Risk Mitigation for Over-Age Employment: Legal & Tax Implications” on August 18, 2026 (Tuesday) in Shanghai.
