Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

Equality of Treatment (Accident Compensation) Convention, 1925 (No. 19) - China (Ratification: 1934)

Article 1(2) of the Convention. Transfer of benefits abroad. The Committee takes due note of the adoption and entry into force, during the reporting period, of the Social Insurance Law of 28 October 2010 as well as the amendments made to the Regulations on occupational injury insurance on 20 December 2010. In its report, the Government indicates that foreigners who are entitled to receive occupational injury benefits on a monthly basis may have their benefits paid outside the territory of China in case of residence abroad in accordance with the relevant policy provisions. The management centres of social insurance at various levels are responsible for the registration, collection of contributions, determination of benefit entitlements and payment of occupational injury benefits. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the manner in which the transfer abroad of cash benefits in case of industrial accidents is regulated, as regards both Chinese nationals and nationals of States parties to the Convention and their dependents.

Article 1(1). Illicit employment. In its report, the Government refers to the Methods for Lump Sum Compensation for Work related Casualties in Entities of Illicit Employment (as amended on 31 December 2010) appended to its report. As this text has not been received by the Office, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would supply a copy of it, indicating whether the latter makes a distinction between illicit employment of foreign and domestic workers.
