Is the length of service calculated from paying social security?

Length of service and payment period are not the same thing. Length of service refers to the working hours of employees with wage income as the main source or all sources since they established labor relations with the unit. The payment period refers to the accumulated period for employers and employees to pay social insurance premiums such as pension, medical care and unemployment in accordance with regulations, and is one of the bases for calculating social insurance benefits. Individuals who pay social security can be calculated as the payment period, and they can enjoy relevant insurance benefits by paying social insurance themselves. Whether an individual or a company pays social security, the payment period must be calculated. The only difference is that if the company pays, the company is responsible for 20% and the individual is responsible for 8%; If the individual pays 28%, it will be borne by the individual.

Legal objectivity:

In Article 38 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Labor Insurance Regulations, the general length of service refers to the working time when employees take wage income as their whole or main source of livelihood. When calculating the general length of service, it should include the length of service of the enterprise.
