Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and trade tensions, our upcoming session for HR professionals and in-house legal counsel will cover employment restructuring in mainland China.
We will focus on the strategic options and legal requirements for restructuring, as well as offering guidance on the practical and logistical aspects of implementation.
In particular, our virtual roundtable will address the following:
- What form can restructuring take?
- Is it possible to require employees to vary their employment terms and conditions?
- Is there a legal equivalent of “redundancy” under PRC law and what other grounds for termination may apply?
- Can employers choose which employees to terminate and are any categories of employee under protected status?
- What are the legal requirements for consultation, severance and governmental reporting?
- Approaches for negotiating mutual terminations with an ex-gratia package
- Practical considerations for implementation
There will also be a live Q&A session at the end.
CPD accreditation for this webinar has been applied for and is pending the Law Society of Hong Kong's approval.
