Do self-employed people need to buy social security?

Legal analysis: individual industrial and commercial households must pay social security to employees.

Because individual industrial and commercial households hire employees, then individual industrial and commercial households need to sign labor contracts with employees and establish labor relations between the two sides. Individual industrial and commercial households belong to employers and should pay social security for employees. If individual industrial and commercial households recruit employees, the two sides shall establish labor relations, and the operator shall purchase social insurance for employees, which is mandatory.

The consequences of enterprises not paying social security are as follows:

1, bear administrative responsibility: if the enterprise fails to pay social security, the social security administrative department shall order it to make corrections within a time limit; If no correction is made within the time limit, a fine of more than one time and less than three times the amount of social insurance premium shall be paid, and a fine of more than 500 yuan and less than 3,000 yuan shall be imposed on the directly responsible person in charge and other directly responsible personnel;

2. Undertake civil liability for compensation: the enterprise shall compensate the pension and other losses; If the labor contract is terminated due to failure to pay social security, the enterprise shall pay economic compensation.

Employees of the company can apply for labor arbitration because the company fails to pay social security. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Submit the application. When applying for arbitration, the parties must submit an application for arbitration and submit copies according to the number of respondents;

2. Arbitration acceptance. The arbitration commission shall, within five days from the date of receiving the application for arbitration, make a decision on whether to accept or not to accept it;

3. Hold a trial. The arbitration tribunal will notify both parties of the date and place of the hearing in writing five days before the hearing. If the applicant refuses to appear in court without justifiable reasons or withdraws from the court without the consent of the arbitration tribunal, the case shall be dismissed and the respondent may make an award by default.
