How long can the company owe its employees social security?

Legal analysis: social security can be withheld for up to 3 months. According to the national regulations, pension insurance can only be paid normally after retirement if the continuous payment time reaches 15 years. If the supply is cut off within three months, it can be returned. If the payment is interrupted for more than 3 months, the payment period (continuous payment time) will be recalculated. In addition, in these three months, only medical insurance can be reimbursed manually, and social security cards cannot be reimbursed automatically.

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

Article 58 An employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees.

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.
