Can individual industrial and commercial households help employees pay social security?

Legal analysis: 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.

Legal basis: Article 60 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employer shall declare 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 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.
