Can I sign a labor contract without paying social security?

Legal analysis: under certain circumstances, it is not necessary to pay insurance when signing a labor contract. The Social Insurance Law stipulates that labor relations have been established, and when signing a labor contract, the employer must pay social security for the workers. Even if employees voluntarily do not participate in social security, the employer must pay social security in case of social security verification. However, employers may not pay social insurance for re-employed employees.

Legal basis: Article 72 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Labor Contract Law determines the source of social insurance funds according to the types of insurance, and gradually implements social overall planning. Employers and workers must participate in social insurance and pay social insurance premiums according to law.
