Is it legal for affiliated units to pay social security?

Legal analysis: It is not clearly stipulated in the law that it is illegal to pay social security for affiliated companies. Although it is not illegal to pay social security for affiliated companies, in fact, a considerable number of enterprises are paying social security for non-employees, but affiliated companies still have great legal risks in paying social security for enterprises and individuals.

Legal basis: Article 10 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * Employees shall participate in the basic old-age insurance, and both employers and employees shall pay the basic old-age insurance premium. Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in the basic old-age insurance in the employer and other flexible employees can participate in the basic old-age insurance, and individuals pay the basic old-age insurance premium. The measures for the endowment insurance of civil servants and staff managed by reference to the Civil Service Law shall be formulated by the State Council.
