The company can pay social security for several years.

Legal analysis: social security can be paid up to two years, that is, 24 months, which means that from the month of payment, the forward calculation is calculated according to the time period of payment, not according to the cumulative month. Under normal circumstances, the general unit can only make up for 2 months. If it takes longer, it has to be operated through some agencies.

Legal basis: Article 72 of the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). Employers and workers must participate in social insurance and pay social insurance premiums according to law.

Article 38 of the Labor Contract Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) (3) If the employer fails to pay the social insurance premium for the employee according to law, the employee may terminate the labor contract.
