Does the individual pay social security 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. Length of service refers to the length of service that employers and employees have paid insurance premiums according to law since the implementation of the social insurance support system. Length of service is calculated continuously. For example, if an employee is transferred from unit A to unit B, his working time in units A and B should be continuously calculated as continuous length of service.

Legal basis: Article 72 of the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) determines the sources of social insurance funds according to the types of insurance, and gradually implements social overall planning. Employers and workers must participate in social insurance and pay social insurance premiums according to law.
