The concept of retirement is quite broad, especially after the implementation of the pension insurance system, where one can apply for a pension upon reaching the legal retirement age. However, there is also the concept of "retirement without leave," which offers better benefits in various aspects than retirement. So, what are the differences between retirement without leave and retirement? The details are as follows:
1. Different concepts
"Retirement" refers to the system of allowing retired cadres who participated in the revolutionary war led by the Communist Party of China before the founding of the People's Republic of China (October 1, 1949), who received full-time supply benefits, or who engaged in underground revolutionary work, to retire upon reaching the legal retirement age. "Retirement" refers to the system of allowing workers in state-owned enterprises, public institutions, Party and government organs, and mass organizations to leave their posts and apply for pension benefits after meeting certain conditions.
2. Different objects
The categories of cadres eligible for "retirement without leave" include cadres who participated in revolutionary work during the First and Second Revolutionary Civil Wars, deputy county heads and equivalent positions or administrative level 18 and above who participated in revolutionary work during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and deputy commissioners of administrative offices and equivalent positions or administrative level 14 and above who participated in revolutionary work before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The categories of those eligible for "retirement without leave" are all enterprise employees, including self-employed and flexibly employed individuals.
3. Based on different
The retirement policy is mainly based on documents such as the "Notice on Retirement Benefits for Veteran Cadres Who Participated in Revolutionary Work Before the Founding of the People's Republic of China." The general retirement policy is mainly based on laws and regulations such as the "Labor Law of the People's Republic of China."
4. Different treatment
Retired cadres retain their basic political benefits after leaving office, but their living standards are slightly improved. They continue to receive their salary after retirement, along with subsidies for living expenses, nursing care, and transportation, and their medical expenses are fully reimbursed. In contrast, retired cadres only receive a pension.
5. Different times
Those who started working before 1949 are considered retired, while those who started working after that time are considered retired.
