Is it legal to employ people over 6 years old to work?

when hiring people, as long as both parties reach an agreement, it is forbidden to violate the law. You can't sign a labor contract when you hire an elderly person over 6, but you can only sign a labor contract, not a labor contract. The 6-year-old has exceeded the legal age of workers and does not belong to the scope of workers. The labor contract is signed.

1. Is it illegal to employ people over the age of 6?

The law does not prohibit employers from employing workers over the age of 6, and they can still become workers over the age of 6.

China's "Labor Law" only stipulates that it is forbidden to employ minors under the age of 16, while China's laws do not prohibit enterprises, institutions and individual industrial and commercial households from recruiting workers who have exceeded the statutory retirement age. This shows that China has made prohibitive provisions on the lower age limit for citizens to exercise their labor rights and perform their labor obligations, while China's laws do not limit the upper age limit for workers. As long as citizens reach the age of 16 and die, they all have the right to exercise their labor. It is not illegal for an employer to employ workers who have reached the legal retirement age, and the labor contract formed by it does not belong to the scope of invalid contracts. Therefore, workers who have reached the statutory retirement age and continue to work for the employer belong to the object of adjustment of the labor law.

according to article 44 of the labor contract law, the labor contract will be terminated when the employee begins to enjoy the basic old-age insurance benefits according to law, that is, the legal effect of the labor contract will be eliminated according to law on the day when the employee receives the basic pension, and the legal effect of the labor contract will still exist if the employee does not receive the basic pension.

second, the current labor laws and regulations in China have no provisions on the retirement age of workers.

The provisions on the statutory retirement age of workers give workers the right to rest, not deprive them of their labor rights. Citizens can exercise their rights or give up their right to rest. When a citizen reaches the legal retirement age, does not apply for retirement, does not enjoy the pension as a living guarantee, and still establishes an employment relationship with the employer, it should be a labor relationship.

according to the above regulations, non-retirees who have not reached the statutory retirement age do not enjoy the pension as a living guarantee, and those who continue to establish employment relations with employers should be recognized as labor relations.

III. Judgment of Labor Relations and labour relation

There are different situations for workers over retirement age:

1) Those who have gone through retirement procedures and enjoyed pension benefits continue to work after retirement;

2) After working in the unit to the retirement age, he has gone through the retirement formalities and received a pension, but still continues to work in this unit;

3) Having reached retirement age in the company, but unable to receive the pension for various reasons, continuing to work in this company;

4) continuing to work beyond the retirement age (but failing to receive a pension for various reasons);

in the first case, there is no dispute, that is, labour relation.

In the second case, there is no dispute, and it is labour relation.

The third and fourth cases are very controversial. Some cases have been identified as labor relations, while others have been identified as labour relation.

I hope the above contents can help you. If you have any other questions, please consult a professional lawyer.

legal basis: article 1 of the labor law of the people's Republic of China establishes labor relations, and a written labor contract shall be concluded. If a labor relationship has been established and a written labor contract has not been concluded at the same time, a written labor contract shall be concluded within one month from the date of employment. If the employer and the employee conclude a labor contract before employment, the labor relationship shall be established from the date of employment.
