Can civil servants apply for early retirement? What are the conditions for early retirement

Civil servants who retire early can still enjoy certain benefits. The new civil servant law makes it clear that after retirement, civil servants also mind enjoying the policy treatment of the state. So what conditions should be met if they want to retire early?

'big brother, from childhood to adulthood, from kindergarten, school to work, you are always ahead of me, but I didn't expect that, as long as the unit can approve, maybe I can retire before you this year. -- brother Zhang said to his elder brother with a smile.

Brother Zhang, 59, an engineer in a state-owned enterprise, will retire next year. Zhang's second brother is a department level cadre of an administrative organ. He is not yet 56 years old, but he has been working for 30 years.

The new civil service law was revised at the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress on December 29, 2018 and will come into force on June 1, 2019.

According to Article 93 of the new civil servant law, if a civil servant meets one of the following conditions, he or she can voluntarily apply for early retirement with the approval of the appointment and removal organ: first, he or she has worked for 30 years; second, he or she is less than 5 years from the retirement age stipulated by the state and has worked for 20 years; third, he or she can retire in advance if he or she meets the state's requirements.

According to the current regulations that students can go to primary school when they are over 6 years old, it is not uncommon for them to graduate at the age of 22, graduate at the age of 25, and enter the civil service at the age of 25. According to the new civil service law, a considerable number of people can apply for early retirement at the age of 55.

Civil servants who retire early can still enjoy certain benefits. The new civil servant law clearly states that after retirement, civil servants enjoy the pension and other benefits stipulated by the state, the state provides necessary services and help for their life and health, and encourages them to give full play to their personal expertise and participate in social development.

Is this kind of provision a kind of welfare for civil servants? Is the willingness of civil servants to retire early strong? The reporter selected civil servants at all levels, such as ministries and commissions, provinces and cities, to carry out a small-scale interview and survey, and found that some people applauded; others insisted that they would not retire early.

Viewpoint 1: you can spend more time with your family

Wang Fang (a pseudonym), who is already a department level cadre of a certain ministry, has just applied for retirement and is waiting for approval.

Wang Fang told the "daily economic news" that she has worked for 30 years and is 55 years old. She has submitted her retirement report and is waiting for approval, but it is not clear whether she will be approved.

In March 2015, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of human resources and social security issued a notice specifying that female cadres at the level of principal and deputy county departments and corresponding positions in party and government organs and people's organizations, female cadres at the level of principal and deputy department and female professional and technical personnel with senior professional titles in public institutions who are responsible for party affairs and administrative management should retire at the age of 60.

Although this provision also proposes that the above-mentioned female cadres and professional and technical personnel with senior titles can also apply for voluntary retirement when they reach the age of 55, Wang Fang had no idea whether she could get approval for retirement. She told reporters that the amendment to the new civil servant law by the National People's Congress allowed her to apply for retirement ahead of time, and was approved to have "double insurance".

Similar to Wang Fang's appeal, Zhao Jian (a pseudonym) has only worked in the civil service system of a province for about 10 years, but he also wants to retire early. He told the "daily economic news" that he will definitely apply for early retirement at that time. There are three main considerations: first, to make room for younger people; second, to feel that he is too old to keep up with the development of the times; third, to worry about the pressure of work and that he can't meet the work requirements.

Sun Yi (not her real name), who has just worked in a city government in Central China, also believes that she will mostly choose to retire early, so that she can leave more time for her family, or fulfill some dreams she gave up under the pressure of reality.

Viewpoint 2: early retirement may reduce a lot of bonus

If a large number of civil servants are willing to retire early, we should also see that many civil servants are not willing to retire early.

Zhou Wei (a pseudonym) holds the post of director of a ministry. He told the daily economic news that he would not retire early and would like to continue to work and create more social value.

At the same time, Zheng Yang (not his real name), who has worked in a municipal government department in Central China for many years, is already a deputy department level cadre. According to the new civil servant law, he already has the conditions to apply for early retirement, but he has a firm attitude about whether he will apply for early retirement: 'although I have the conditions for retirement, I have worked for decades, and I have a hard feeling for my work, which is also a kind of love . So I won't choose to retire early. '

Shi Wen, a civil servant in a western city, also said that he would not choose to retire early because his income would be much less after retirement.

According to the new civil service law, civil service wages include basic wages, allowances, subsidies and bonuses. Civil servants are entitled to regional supplementary allowance, allowance for hard and remote areas, post allowance and other allowances in accordance with state regulations; civil servants are entitled to housing, medical and other subsidies and subsidies in accordance with state regulations; civil servants who are determined to be excellent and competent in regular assessment are entitled to year-end bonus in accordance with state regulations. Shi Wen told reporters that although civil servants have pension and other benefits after retirement, there will be a big gap in the income before and after retirement.

Viewpoint 3: hope to enter the enterprise to 'give full play to waste heat'

As for whether or not they will choose to retire early, more civil servants say that it still depends on the situation.

Lu Xin (not his real name), who has just entered a ministry, told the daily economic news that it is not sure whether he will apply for early retirement now. It mainly depends on his work and family status at that time. Lu Xin said: 'in terms of work, if the work intensity is relatively high, you may apply for early retirement due to physical considerations. As for families, because the income of civil servants is generally not high, if there is no significant improvement, they may not apply for early retirement at that time. '

In fact, after early retirement, some civil servants will choose to work in some social institutions or enterprises, so their income may be higher. Due to the experience of civil servants, this kind of personnel is usually favored by many enterprises.

The reporter learned from an interview in a strong economic County in the south that some local civil servants chose to resign to work in enterprises.

Whether I will choose early retirement depends on my career development and family situation. Cheng Xiang, a deputy department level cadre (not his real name), told the daily economic news that the treatment of enterprises is indeed better than that of civil servants, and some of them go to work in enterprises after retirement. However, there are two situations in choosing early retirement: one is that they have the ability to earn a lot of money after retirement; the other is that the family really has difficulties, and the salary is difficult to support the family expenditure, so they have to find a way out.

Lu Xin believes that there are certain limitations for civil servants to work in enterprises after retirement. All civil servants work in administrative organs. If they want to work in enterprises, it's like entering a new industry.

Zhang Hua (a pseudonym) passed the civil servant examination again and entered his hometown's office after he took part in the work. When talking about the civil servant's going to work in an enterprise after retirement, he said that people who go to work in an enterprise after retirement generally have their own skills. In addition, it is generally necessary for the local economy to develop better before some local large enterprises are willing to hire those who retire or resign I'm a member.
