Is social insurance compulsory?

Social insurance is compulsory. According to the relevant laws and regulations, the employer shall register social insurance for employees within 30 days from the date of employment, and pay social insurance premiums according to law. If the employer fails to pay social insurance premiums according to law, its social insurance premium collection agency will order it to pay or make up within a time limit.

Legal objectivity:

Article 60 of the Social Insurance Law, the employing unit shall declare itself and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time. Except for legal reasons such as force majeure, the payment shall not be postponed or reduced. The social insurance premiums that employees should pay shall be withheld and remitted by the employer, and the employer shall inform me of the details of paying social insurance premiums on a monthly basis. Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in social insurance in the employing units and other flexible employees can pay social insurance premiums directly to the social insurance premium collection agencies.
