Is social security payment legal?

According to the relevant provisions of the Social Insurance Law, social security is paid by the employer who has an employment relationship with employees. At this level, social security is paid by employers with employment relations, which is in line with national laws and regulations. But now there are many social security services paid by third-party intermediaries in the market. At this level, the state is not allowed to pay, which is illegal. Institutions that pay fees through third-party intermediaries do not care whether there is a contractual relationship with the insured, but only need to sign relevant service agreements and entrust a third party to pay the fees, and the social security part that should have been paid by the employer is transferred to individuals. This method is not only illegal, but also has certain risks. Many institutions charge corresponding fees, but do not carry out remittance business. This method is not recommended. If you have left your job and need to continue to pay social security fees, you can negotiate with the employer and the insured will bear the social security fees that should have been paid by the company. It is not only legal and compliant, but also more reliable to find a new job and a new unit to transfer to a social security payment unit.
