FYI Explanation: reading the entire sentence I think the best rendition should be the existing policy (老办法不是old办法，而是“原有的，也就是存在的办法）should apply to the existing staff （老人就是现有的职工） |

traditional method Explanation: The original office support group personnel adopt the traditional method of implementing a hiring freeze, and through natural attrition, internal transfers, early retirement and other means, gradually resolve the situation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days22 hrs (2017-03-12 01:39:25 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- The term "grandfather policy" is too official, and is not used much in English except when talking about special license terms. There is no evidence in the Chinese that this is really official; it just refers to the old way of doing things. This is why I have used "traditional method"; in register, it is much closer to the original Chinese. |
