Can individuals pay social security for employees?

Individuals can pay social security for employees.

Individual industrial and commercial households without employees can directly apply to the social insurance fee collection agency to pay their own social insurance premiums, but they can only pay basic old-age insurance premiums and basic medical insurance premiums. Individual industrial and commercial households shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for their employees.

Individual industrial and commercial households can pay social security to employees. The employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. The employing unit shall declare itself and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, and shall not postpone or reduce the payment except for legal reasons such as force majeure.

The full name of social security is actually social insurance. Professionally speaking, social security is a social and economic system in which the state provides a certain proportion of income or compensation to those who lose their ability to work or suffer various economic losses due to health problems, so that the insured can get a certain amount of insurance every month after retirement.

Specific procedures for individuals to pay social security for employees:

1, individual industrial and commercial households carry the original and photocopy of the business license of individual industrial and commercial households, and provide the social insurance agency in the district or city where they are registered with relevant information such as the bank where the unit opens an account, account number, postal code, legal person ID number, legal person contact telephone number, business manager and contact telephone number;

2, to meet the social insurance registration conditions, issue a social insurance registration certificate. Specifically, when employees are insured, they should go to the local employment service center to handle the Employment Registration and Labor Contract Registration List for the insured employees;

3. When paying the fee, you need to fill in the "Change Form of Employees' Payment of Insurance Benefits", and you need to affix the official seal of the unit, the official seal of the person in charge of the unit and the official seal of the agent;

4. Handle the operation flow of the declaration of increase or decrease of the insured. During the period from 1 to 15 every month, preferably before 15, the insured enterprise shall handle the declaration of increase or decrease of the insured and the payable information through the social insurance business website, and fill in and save relevant forms and materials.

As long as they are legally registered individual industrial and commercial households, they can pay social security and provident fund for their employees.

To sum up, employees should be insured according to law, which is also clearly stipulated in the Labor Contract Law. Of course, some individual industrial and commercial households are troublesome or unwilling to insure employees, and it is also possible to compensate employees with cash. Then it is no problem for your employees to participate in insurance according to flexible employment, but they will enjoy less relevant insurance because there is no work-related injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance.
