Is it legal for the company to pay social security?

Legal analysis: illegal, social insurance registration is subject to territorial management. The account opening and payment unit should be the "employer", that is, the employer that establishes labor relations with the workers. If the labor contract is signed with the company, social insurance should also be paid in the name of the company. At present, many companies entrust a third party to pay social security fees by using a third-party social security account, which is not in compliance with the law.

Legal basis: Article 57 of the Social Insurance Law: The employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of its establishment, apply to the local social insurance agency for social insurance registration with its business license, registration certificate or unit seal. The social insurance agency shall, within fifteen days from the date of receiving the application, examine and issue the social insurance registration certificate.

Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law stipulates that the employer shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for employees.
