The difference between individuals and enterprises paying social security

Endowment insurance with different nature, different types of insurance, different payment base, different individual contribution ratio and different retirement age may be different.

The main differences between individual social security and unit social security are as follows:

1, different in nature: companies are forced to pay social security. If there is a legal labor relationship, but the company fails to pay social security for urban workers as required, it is illegal. However, if flexible employees pay social security by themselves, it is not mandatory, and the insured can voluntarily choose whether to pay social security.

2. Different types of insurance: the social security for urban employees paid by the unit includes five types of insurance: endowment insurance, medical insurance, work injury insurance, maternity insurance and unemployment insurance; However, as flexible employees to pay social security for urban workers, they can usually only pay two types of insurance: employee pension insurance and employee medical insurance, and a few areas can also pay unemployment insurance.

3. The payment base is different: the unit pays social security, and the payment base is calculated according to the average salary of employees in the previous year. However, if you pay social security as a flexible employee, you can choose the payment base that suits you according to your actual situation. The payment base usually ranges from 60% to 300% of the local average social wage in the previous year.

4. The individual contribution ratio is different: whether it is employee pension insurance or medical insurance, the individual contribution ratio of flexible employees is relatively high. Take the employee pension insurance as an example, the unit pays social security, and the contribution ratio of the employee pension insurance unit is 16% of the payment base, and the individual contribution ratio of the employee is 8%, which means that the unit will bear most of the expenses, and the individual employee only needs to bear a small part; Flexible employees pay their own social security and need to bear all the expenses themselves. The contribution ratio of employee pension insurance is usually 20%, and the contribution ratio will be slightly higher in some areas, of which 12% will go into the pension insurance pooling account and 8% will go into the personal account.

5. The retirement age of old-age insurance may be different: according to the current regulations, units pay social security, men retire at 60, female workers retire at 50, and female cadres retire at 55; Self-paid social security, flexible employment men retire at the age of 60, flexible employment women retire at the age of 55, some cases allow flexible employment women to retire at the age of 50, and a few regions uniformly stipulate that flexible employment women retire at the age of 50, which is subject to local policies. Pay the employee's old-age insurance by yourself, and the calculation method of pension is the same as that of enterprise employees, so pay social security as long as possible if conditions permit.

The materials required for social security payment are as follows:

1, personal social security, personal social security can only participate in old-age insurance and medical insurance, and you need to bring your valid ID card, unemployment certificate and two 1 inch photos to the local social security center;

2. The enterprise pays social security for its employees, and provides the original and photocopy of the enterprise business license, the original and photocopy of the organization code certificate, the photocopy of the ID card of the insured employee, the payroll of the insured employee and the official seal.
