What happens to my social security card when I change jobs?

After changing jobs, the employer usually handles the social security transfer for you and the social security card will be replaced.

The Labor Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that employers and workers must participate in social insurance and pay social insurance premiums in accordance with the law.

After a new employee joins the company, the employer must purchase social security for the new employee, or go through the procedure of transferring the social security account in a timely manner. ?

If you encounter a situation where the unit does not handle social security in time:

The Social Insurance Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that: The employer shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees within thirty days from the date of employment. If it fails to register for social insurance, the social insurance agency shall authorize the social insurance premiums it should pay.

The 30-day period stipulated in the Social Insurance Law is a reasonable period of time from the administrative point of view for the employer to go through the relevant procedures with the administrative department, which is only a grace period for the employer to go through the insurance procedures, but not a period of time during which the employer can be exempted from the payment of social insurance premiums for the workers, which does not exempt the employer from its own civil liabilities.

If a worker encounters a situation in which an employer fails to register for social insurance or fails to pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, he or she can ask the social insurance administrative department (i.e., the human resources department) or the social insurance premium collection agency to handle the matter in accordance with the law, in addition to submitting the case to the arbitration of labor disputes.
