Where can I pay the social security of the employees in the branch? Can the head office use the qualification certificates of branch employees?

General; The social security contributions of employees in branches are as follows:

Location of branch: If the branch has independent legal personality, the social security of the employees of the branch shall be paid at the location of the branch.

Location of head office: If the branch has no independent legal person qualification, the social security of the employees of the branch shall be paid at the location of the head office.

Payment in different places: If the branch is not in the head office, but the employees of the branch work in the head office, they can pay the social security of the employees of the branch in different places.

Can the head office use the qualification certificates of branch employees?

Whether the head office can use the qualification certificates of branch employees depends on the specific situation.

* * If the branch has independent legal person qualification, the qualification certificates of the employees of the branch cannot be directly used by the head office. * * As the branch and the head office are two independent legal entities, the qualification certificates of the employees of the branch are only valid within the branch.

* * If the branch company does not have independent legal person qualification, the qualification certificates of the employees of the branch company can be used for the head office. * * As the branch and the head office are the same legal entity, the qualification certificates of the employees of the branch are also valid in the head office.

* * It should be noted that the head office's use of branch employees' qualification certificates may involve tax, social security and other issues. * * Therefore, the head office must consult the local tax authorities and social security institutions before using the qualification certificates of the employees of the branches.
