During the probation period, the company will not help me buy social security. Is it legally binding for me to sign the agreement?

Invalid. The application for paying social security fees is legally mandatory, and the application for voluntary waiver of social security signed by employees is invalid. The employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for solving the social insurance registration for its workers.

Legal analysis

Paying social insurance premiums is the legal obligation of employers and workers, and should not be changed by any private agreement between the two parties. As long as labor relations are established, social insurance premiums should be paid. The probation period agreed between employees and employers is actually a preliminary investigation and a buffer to adapt to the working environment. The probation period is included in the labor term and so on. Therefore, employees cannot be deprived of social security just because they are still on probation. During the probation period, the company should also buy social security for employees. If employees do not purchase social security, they can report to the local people's social security bureau. As long as the labor contract is established, social insurance must be paid. The probation period is included in the labor contract period, so social insurance should be paid. The probation period shall be stipulated in the terms of the labor contract, and the probation period agreed orally shall not be recognized, which belongs to the time limit agreed in the labor contract. It is illegal for a company not to pay social security during the probation period. Workers can unilaterally terminate the labor contract, require the employer to pay economic compensation, or report to the administrative department of social insurance, which shall order them to make corrections within a time limit. The economic compensation shall be paid to the laborer according to the number of years the laborer has worked in this unit and the standard of paying one month's salary for each full year.
