How to pay social security for labor contracts?

Legal analysis: companies that sign labor contracts do not need to pay social security to their employees. Because labor contracts are generally temporary and similar in nature, both parties who sign labor contracts do not belong to labor relations, and employers may not pay social security to employees.

If there is a labor relationship between the two parties, the employer must buy social security for the employee, otherwise the employer acts illegally and the employee can complain to the local social security department.

Legal basis: Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employer shall apply to the social insurance agency for 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. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration.
