Is the social security contribution salary the actual salary?

Social security payment wages are not necessarily actual wages. When the actual salary exceeds the local minimum wage, social security shall be paid according to the actual salary. However, when the actual salary is lower than the local minimum wage, the social security fee will be paid according to the local minimum wage. At the same time, there is also an upper limit on the base of social security contributions in various regions, so the actual implementation of social security is not necessarily paid according to actual wages. The payment standard, treatment items and payment standard of social insurance shall be uniformly stipulated by the laws and regulations of the state or local government.

Legal basis: Article 3 of the Minimum Wage Ordinance.

The minimum wage standard mentioned in these Provisions refers to the minimum labor remuneration that the employer should pay according to law on the premise that the laborer provides normal labor within the statutory working hours or the working hours agreed in the labor contract signed according to law.

The term "normal labor" as mentioned in these Provisions refers to the labor that workers engage in according to the labor contract signed according to law within the statutory working hours or the working hours agreed in the labor contract. Workers are deemed to have provided normal labor when they enjoy paid annual leave, family leave, funeral leave, maternity leave, birth control surgery leave and other holidays stipulated by the state, and when they participate in social activities according to law within legal working hours.

What is the process of paying social security?

1. If the employee goes to the employer for employment, the employer and the employee shall jointly pay, and the social insurance premium that the employee should pay shall be withheld and remitted by the employer;

2. Employees who are not employed by employers can pay social insurance premiums directly to the social insurance premium collection agency as flexible employees, but they can only pay non-basic old-age insurance premiums and basic medical insurance premiums.
