Can a company as a legal person pay social security?

Legal analysis: A company as a legal person refers to an enterprise organization established in accordance with the Company Law, which has independent property, can enjoy civil rights and assume civil obligations in its own name, and bear civil liabilities for the company's debts with all its property. From the above, we can know that the company as a legal person is an enterprise, and the enterprise does not need to pay social security, and the enterprise can only pay social security to its employees. Therefore, as a legal person, the company does not need to pay social security. As the legal representative of the company, employees show in the social security system that enterprises should bear 20% of the social security paid by employees. Therefore, employees cannot pay individual social insurance.

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.
