Three categories of social security payment

The three types of social security contributions are employee social security, flexible employment social security and urban and rural residents. Details are as follows:

1. Employee social security refers to the pension, medical care, maternity, work-related injury and unemployment insurance paid by employees who work normally in enterprises and institutions, and enterprises and employees each bear part of the expenses;

2. Flexible employment social security refers to the pension and medical insurance paid by individual industrial and commercial households or flexible employees in the form of flexible employment according to their personal wishes. The expenses are all borne by individuals, and the burden is heavy, but they can enjoy the same pension and medical insurance benefits as employee social security. ;

2. Social security for urban and rural residents refers to the pension and medical insurance paid by urban and rural residents, which is paid once a year, with lower cost and slightly lower welfare than employee insurance. Social security for residents and social security for flexible employment can only be paid at the place where the household registration is located. If foreign household registration personnel meet the purchase restriction policy in some areas, they can only pay employee social security through social security payment units. If it is to protect medical care and provide for the aged, because residents' insurance benefits are relatively low, they can choose to pay flexible employment social security, and those who have the ability can pay employee social security and enjoy higher treatment.
