From May 1
The Labor Insurance Regulations are repealed
The Decision of the State Council on Amending and Repealing Some Administrative Regulations was promulgated, and 13 administrative regulations, including the Labor Insurance Regulations, will be repealed and will come into force on May 1, 2024.
Promulgated and implemented by the former Government Council in 1951, the Labor Insurance Regulations were the earliest social security system established for workers in mainland China, laying a solid foundation for the modern social security system. However, with the development of the times, the provisions of the labor insurance regulations have gradually been replaced by laws and regulations such as the Social Insurance Law, the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance, and the Special Provisions on the Labor Protection of Female Employees. The repeal of the labor insurance regulations not only marks the continuous improvement of the mainland's social security system, but also clearly defines some important concepts in the handling of labor relations.
1. Personal rights and interests are not affected, and it is important to pay social security on time
For individuals, the repeal of the Labor Insurance Regulations will not have a material impact on their rights and interests. It is important to note that individuals are required to pay social insurance on time. Only by ensuring that you pay social security every month can you enjoy all kinds of protection, including pension and medical benefits.
2. Impact on sick pay
There are two legal bases for sick leave pay at the national level: one is the provisions in the Labor Insurance Regulations and the draft amendments to the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Labor Insurance Regulations. The second is the provisions in the "Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of the Labor Law of the People's Republic of China".
However, due to the inconsistencies in the relevant legal bases, in practice, different bases are selected or referred to when different regions stipulate the standard of sick leave pay in legislation.
Later, some provinces and municipalities issued local regulations, such as Hebei Province, Shanghai Municipality, Shenzhen City, etc.
After the repeal of the Labor Insurance Regulations, the provisions on sick pay standards in the Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of the Labor Law of the People's Republic of China have become the sole legal basis at the national level. Unless otherwise specified by the local government, the standard of sick pay is not less than 80% of the minimum wage.
3. The inevitability of social progress
The repeal of the Labor Insurance Regulations is considered to be an inevitable consequence of social progress. With the development of the times, the old system may no longer be able to adapt to the changes and needs of society. Therefore, the repeal of this regulation means that society will usher in a new change and development in terms of labor security, which is essential to improve people's quality of life.
