What if the company doesn't pay wages and social security?

Legal analysis: workers can negotiate with the company first. If negotiation fails, the laborer may complain to the local labor administrative department (generally the labor inspection brigade). According to relevant laws and regulations, social security is compulsory by the state, and timely payment of wages is the legal obligation of the employer.

Legal basis: Article 9 of the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on Mediation and Arbitration of Labor Disputes, if the employing unit violates state regulations and fails to pay labor remuneration in full or fails to pay medical expenses, economic compensation and compensation for work-related injuries, the employee may complain to the labor administrative department, which shall handle it according to law.

Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * The employer shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
