Can the employer not buy social security for employees?

Legal analysis: Employers have to pay social security to their employees. Employers and workers must participate in social insurance and pay social insurance premiums according to law. Participating in social insurance is a compulsory obligation of the company, and both the company and the workers must fulfill it. Therefore, even if workers do not want to participate in social insurance, it is impossible.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle social insurance registration for employees within 30 days from the date of employment. 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.
