The difference between units and individuals paying social security.

Legal analysis: The difference between a company paying social security and an individual paying social security lies in:

1, the difference of insurance coverage between them; The company's payment of social security is what we usually call five insurances and one gold;

2. The payment ratio between them is different; Both companies and individuals pay social security according to the average social salary of employees in the previous year, but most of the social security expenses of urban employees are borne by the company, and the part paid by individuals accounts for10% of the general salary;

3. The compulsion between them is different. Paying social security is the legal obligation of the company.

Although the proportion of insurance contributions of freelancers is high, the money transferred to individual accounts is the same as that of on-the-job employees, and the rest will be transferred to overall accounts, so less money will be returned to individual accounts for pension and medical insurance.

Moreover, the more insurance you pay, the more benefits you will enjoy. Therefore, employees on the job can enjoy more unemployment insurance, compensation for work-related injuries, supplementary pensions and housing accumulation fund than freelancers.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
