Is it legal to transfer social security to a third party?

Legal analysis: illegal. Social insurance registration shall be managed in a territorial way, and the account opening and payment unit shall be the employer, that is, the employer that has established labor relations with the workers. If you sign a labor contract with a company, you must also pay social insurance in the name of the company. At present, it is illegal for many companies to entrust a third party to pay social security fees by using a third-party social security account.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.
