What should enterprises do if employees are unwilling to pay social security?

Enterprises can withhold social security fees from employees' wages.

According to the law, the employer has the right to withhold and remit the social insurance premiums that should be borne by the individual workers from their personal wages. If the employee fails to pay social security during the probation period, the employer can make up the deduction in the subsequent salary payment. This means that even if employees are unwilling to pay social security fees at first, enterprises can still deduct the corresponding social security fees from employees' wages according to law to ensure the normal payment of social insurance and the protection of workers' rights and interests.

Components of social security expenses:

1, old-age insurance premium: provide basic living security for employees after retirement;

2. Medical insurance premium: used to reduce the cost burden of employees when they seek medical treatment due to illness;

3. Unemployment insurance premium: providing economic assistance to unemployed workers for a certain period of time;

4. Work-related injury insurance premium: used to compensate employees for work-related injuries or occupational diseases;

5. Maternity insurance premium: give some financial subsidies to female employees for maternity.

The above social security expenses are usually borne by both enterprises and employees, and the specific proportion depends on local policies.

To sum up, enterprises can withhold and remit social insurance premiums from employees' wages according to law to ensure the normal payment of social insurance and the protection of workers' rights and interests.
