What is four gold?

Legal analysis: Four gold is the part paid by individuals in five insurances and one gold (endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance and housing accumulation fund).

Generally speaking, when we say "pay four gold" and "pay five insurance and one gold", we mean the same thing. That is, the employer pays five insurances and one gold for the employee (the employer pays separately), and four of them are also paid by the employee (deducted from the employee's pre-tax salary).

The Administrative Regulations on the Declaration and Payment of Social Insurance Premium requires that the employer shall register social insurance for its employees and declare and pay social insurance premiums within 30 days from the date of employment. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.

The social insurance premiums mentioned in the regulations refer to the basic old-age insurance premiums, basic medical insurance premiums, work-related injury insurance premiums, unemployment insurance premiums and maternity insurance premiums paid by employers and their employees according to law.
