Is the suspension (interruption) a layoff?

Suspension of payment (interruption) and layoffs depend on the situation, as follows:

1, social security payment is a state that employees can't pay their fees in time due to various reasons, and they may or may not be on the job;

2. Social security attrition refers to the fact that employees have to stop participating in insurance because of leaving their jobs and must be unemployed.

3. The suspension and reduction of social security has no effect on the insured employees. The difference between suspending social security and layoffs is as follows:

(1) In different ways, social security suspension means that social security payment will be suspended and then re-paid, and downsizing means that the set quota has been lifted;

(2) In different forms, social security suspension refers to the state that employees can't pay their fees in time due to various reasons, which may be on-the-job or off-the-job. Social security attrition means that employees need to stop insurance because they leave their jobs, which is definitely not worth it anymore.
