Is it necessary to pay social security when hiring retirees?

Retirees should also pay social security, and the relevant provisions are as follows:

1. If you work after retirement, you can no longer pay social security. You have received a pension, and the social security bureau has a record. You can no longer pay social security;

2. Retirees and re-employed people don't need to buy social security. Social insurance is based on labor relations, and retired employees generally form labor relations with employers, so units do not need to pay social security for retired employees;

3. Retired and re-employed personnel have strong working ability and rich working experience. Those who can continue to work in good health are generally the technical backbone or management cadres of the original unit, and their specialties are often outstanding;

4. For the unit, the use cost of retired employees is relatively low, for example, there is no need to pay social security accumulation fund, and there is greater flexibility in the establishment and termination of employment relations. Because retired employees have their own pensions, their psychological expectations for wages are not high.

Retirement procedures:

1. Make an appointment at the service hall of the social security service center, and queue up for retirement review procedures according to the appointment time and window;

2. Go to the window set up by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau for retirement approval.

3. If you meet the retirement requirements after being audited by the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, please bring the retirement approval form and your ID card to the individual payment window to modify the basic information and confirm the payment.

4. Go to the designated bank to apply for a pension debit card.

5. At the end of the next month after completing the retirement formalities, go to the Fund Audit Section of the Social Security Bureau to receive the basic pension treatment calculation form.

To sum up, retired and re-employed personnel should pay social insurance premiums if they still have a labor relationship with the unit and the social security has not been paid to the fixed number of years stipulated by the state.
