Does the work unit have to pay social security?

Legal analysis: the employer must go to the local social insurance agency for social insurance registration and pay social security for employees.

Legal basis: Article 58 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that the employer shall apply to the social insurance agency for 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.
