Do employees need to buy social security during the probation period?

Employees generally need to purchase social security during the probation period. The reason for this is the following：

1. According to the national labor security policy, the employer has the obligation to pay social security for employees from the first day of employment, whether it is during the probation period or not;

2. The probation period is included in the term of the labor contract, that is to say, the probation period also belongs to the term of labor relations. Therefore, during the probation period, the employer should also pay social insurance premiums for employees.

Enterprises pay social insurance for employees in the following ways:

1, open an account. Enterprises need to open accounts for social security and provident fund at the Social Security Bureau and the Provident Fund Center within 30 days from the date of establishment. After opening a social security account, obtain a social security registration certificate, and after opening a provident fund account, obtain a unit provident fund registration number;

2. Increase personnel. The company will add new employees to the company's five insurance and one gold account every month;

3. Confirm the payment base. The unit needs to declare the correct payment base of five insurances and one gold for employees every month to ensure the normal payment of five insurances and one gold. The payment base of five insurances and one gold is based on the average salary of employees in the previous year or the salary in the first month of employment;

4. Pay the fee. Enterprises, banks, social security/provident fund management institutions sign bank payment agreements, and directly deduct five insurances and one gold fee from the enterprise bank account at a fixed time every month. Of course, enterprises can also choose cash or check to pay at the site of the five insurance and one gold management institution.
