This Notice extends the policy originally stipulated in Hurenshegui [2023] No. 30 regarding the participation in work-related injury insurance for over-age employees and interns in Shanghai, extending its validity period until November 30, 2030. The main contents are summarized as follows:
Non-mandatory participation: Employers can voluntarily choose to participate in the single work-related injury insurance scheme; participation is not compulsory. 
Definition of participants: Over-age employees refer to employed individuals who have exceeded the legal retirement age but are not older than 65 years. Interns in Shanghai are vocational school students interning with employers, as well as college students who have agreed to a one-month or longer internship with an employer.
Contribution standards: a) Employers shall make monthly contributions. b) The contribution base is determined according to labor remuneration and is subject to the upper and lower limits of Shanghai's social insurance contribution base. c) The contribution rate is determined according to the standard rate for the employer's work-related injury insurance premium.
Insurance benefits: If over-age employees or interns sustain a work-related injury during the insurance period, the matter shall be handled according to the "Regulations on Work-Related Injury Insurance" and other relevant regulations. For those with grade 5 to 10 disabilities, upon termination or conclusion of the agreement with the employer, a one-time medical subsidy for work-related injuries shall be paid from the Work-Related Injury Insurance Fund, and the work-related injury insurance relationship shall be terminated simultaneously.
