How to handle social insurance for flexible employees

Legal analysis: Whether flexible employees participate in social insurance depends entirely on their own wishes, and the state does not force them to participate in social insurance. If you choose to participate in social insurance, you must apply for social insurance registration, usually with your personal ID card, household registration book and photos, and wait until the local social insurance agency handles it.

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.
