Pay social security by yourself to calculate the length of service?

Legal analysis: individual social security payment can be counted as length of service, and retirement expenses can be counted when reaching retirement age. Regardless of whether individuals or units pay social security, they must calculate the length of service. The only difference is that if the unit pays the fee, the unit is responsible for 20% and the individual is responsible for 8%. Individuals pay, individuals pay 28%. As for the length of service, there is no difference.

Legal basis: revised draft of Detailed Rules for the Implementation of People's Republic of China (PRC) Labor Insurance Regulations.

Article 39 The length of service of this enterprise shall be calculated according to the continuous working time of employees in this enterprise. If employees have left their jobs, it shall be calculated from the day when they returned to work in this enterprise for the last time.
