How many days must I pay social security?

Social security must be paid within 30 days of joining the company. The date of employment is generally the day of employment. The so-called social insurance registration is the declaration of social insurance payment, so the enterprise must declare and pay social insurance for its employees within 30 days at the latest. For example, employees who join the company on the 5th must apply for social insurance declaration before the 5th of the following month. The time for employees to enjoy social insurance is affected by the monthly checkout time of local social security institutions.

Although the law stipulates that it is legal for employees to declare social security within 30 days of employment, it is more humane to declare and pay social security according to the actual working hours of employees, that is, to declare in the first month of employment and enjoy it next month; Post-employment, declare in the second month after employment, enjoy in the third month and pay social security in the second month.

The role of social insurance is reflected in the following aspects:

First, social insurance can play the role of social stabilizer. The old, weak, sick, disabled, pregnant and disabled members of society are inevitable objective phenomena in any era and under any social system. Social insurance is to give appropriate compensation to members of society when they encounter this situation, to ensure their basic living standards and to prevent the emergence of unstable factors.

Second, social insurance is conducive to ensuring the smooth reproduction of social labor. Laborers will inevitably encounter all kinds of accidents in the process of labor, resulting in the pause of labor reproduction. Social insurance is to give necessary economic compensation and living security to workers when they encounter the above-mentioned risk accidents, so that the labor force can be restored.
