Do I have to pay social security?

Whether to pay social security depends on the situation:

1. If employees and units establish labor relations, then social security must be paid. Social security is compulsory insurance, and employers must pay for their employees according to national laws. It is illegal for employers not to pay social insurance for workers. Laborers may apply to the labor intermediary agencies for arbitration and demand payment.

2. If the employee has no job, it is unnecessary. You can feel whether to hand it in or not according to your own wishes.

However, as long as social security is paid and the accumulated payment period exceeds 15 years, you can receive a monthly pension in the future, and even employees can enjoy retirement benefits with medical insurance. Therefore, paying social security has many benefits for later old age. If you are within your ability, you'd better pay social security.
