Companies in Shanghai and adjacent areas have faced difficulty due to the epidemic situation and its prevention and control measures, and many have faced labour disputes that arose from delayed or reduced wages, terminations, and arbitration. In order to reboot the economy, the Shanghai government has issued their Shanghai Action Plan for Accelerating Economic Recovery and Revitalisation, which aims to support business recovery through deferment of funds and tax payments, reduction of operating costs, tax rebates, and other reduction measures.

The China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) invites our member companies Tricor and King Wood & Mallesons to address the action plan by analysing it through a legal perspective and discussing the company relief measures, giving our members a deeper understanding of Shanghai’s recovery plan.

Webinar Highlights:

• Issues related to work assignments and salary payments during the epidemic;
• Issues regarding establishment and termination or end of employment during the epidemic;
• Pandemic-related corporate tax benefits, e.g. tax rebates, reduction measures, and deferment of tax payments;
• Deferment of the payment of enterprise social insurance premiums in five financially struggling industries;
• Other company relief measures.
