Is it necessary to pay employee social security?

It is necessary to pay social security for employees.

Social security is compulsory when employees work in enterprises, and no unit or individual has the right not to buy social security. Social security is very important, and the five risks of social security are closely related to us. Without social security, our interests will be difficult to be guaranteed. When risks come, we will have no ability to resist risks and suffer great economic losses. Social security fees are paid by the enterprise on the basis of employees' wages every month, with the minimum payment base. There are not many personal contributions, but more corporate contributions.

How to pay social security by yourself:

1. The third party pays social security, and the social security paid by the third party can also enjoy the corresponding rights and interests just like the social security of employees. This is also the best way to ensure the continuity of social security, but you need to bear the full cost and pay the service fee. Therefore, whether to choose a third-party payment, everyone should decide according to their actual situation.

2. Flexible employment identity insurance. For some employees who leave their jobs, they need to pay their own social security. However, if everyone is registered locally, they can participate as flexible employment, but flexible employment social security only includes pension insurance and medical insurance.

To sum up, the process of employee social security payment is generally handled in accordance with the process of application, submission of materials, review and handling social security payment. Employee insurance includes endowment insurance, industrial injury insurance, medical insurance, maternity insurance and unemployment insurance.
