The European Chamber and the German Chamber of Commerce are pleased to jointly invite you and provide a most recent interactive update on the new Chinese social security law and its application to foreigners. For this law, which became effective July 1st 2011, the implementation rules for foreigners have been published on September 9th and will be effective October 15th, 2011.
The workshop will be held in a discussion format (following short presentations). Besides the implication for local staff, but will mainly focus on questions relating the application to foreign staff in general and German expatriates in particular (due to the related existing social insurance agreement between China and Germany, which allows for exemptions).
Dr. Iris Duchetsmann, Of-Counsel from Salans, and Mr. Ralph Koppitz, Partner and Chief Representative from Taylor Wessing, will be sharing their experience from past months in this workshop chaired by Mr. Rolf Koehler in his role as workshop leader of the German Chamber HR workshop. Questions on the extent to which this law is being implemented, the challenges seen for foreign enterprises in order to conform to the law, the cost and compliance implications and the potential effects and developments of the law in the future will be discussed.
Some short presentations will be followed by an interactive discussion with the audience.
The workshop will target company leaders, Human resource and legal managers or staff in the companies and other parties interested in this subject. This discussion is to be seen as a follow up on the joint December 2010 introduction by both chambers, when the law was just published.
