What are the consequences of not paying social security?

Legal analysis: Workers who don't pay social security may not enjoy old-age insurance and medical insurance in some cities and can't buy a house, because many cities directly link the conditions of buying a house with social security. If the enterprise fails to pay social security, it may have to bear administrative responsibility and civil compensation responsibility, such as a pension to compensate employees' losses. Moreover, the Regulations on Insurance of Work Injury, Medical Care, Maternity and Unemployment clearly stipulates that if an employee encounters a situation that requires insurance claims, and the enterprise fails to pay the corresponding insurance, the liability for compensation shall be borne by the enterprise.

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

Article 2 The state establishes social insurance systems such as basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance, so as to guarantee citizens' right to receive material assistance from the state and society in accordance with the law in case of old age, illness, industrial injury, unemployment and maternity.

Eighty-fourth employers do not apply for social insurance registration, the social insurance administrative department shall order them to make corrections within a time limit; If no correction is made within the time limit, the employer shall be fined between one and three times the amount of social insurance premiums payable, and the directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel shall be fined between 500 yuan and 3,000 yuan.
