Is it continuous to pay social security in Shanghai?

Legal analysis: if the social security or individual tax payment certificate has been paid continuously for more than 5 years, it is not required to pay continuously, and deferred payment is allowed in the middle, up to three months. Payment is discontinuous.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle social insurance registration for employees 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.
