Small factories do not sign labor contracts or buy social security.

Legal analysis: If the factory does not sign a labor contract or buy social security, employees can negotiate with the factory first, because it is definitely illegal for their factory to do so. The state requires that a written contract must be signed within one month, otherwise they will have to pay double wages from the second month, and social security will be handled normally for employees. If communication fails, it is suggested that they can apply for labor arbitration.

Legal basis: Article 10 of the Labor Contract Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) establishes labor relations, and a written labor contract shall be concluded. If a labor relationship has been established and a written labor contract has not been concluded at the same time, a written labor contract shall be concluded within one month from the date of employment. If the employer and the employee conclude a labor contract before employment, the labor relationship shall be established from the date of employment.
