What if the company does not apply for social security?

If the company fails to pay social security, it can terminate the labor contract or complain to the labor inspection department. If the enterprise does not sign a contract and pay the old-age insurance premium, the employees can complain and report to the labor inspection agency affiliated to the local labor and social security department to help urge the enterprise to go through the insurance formalities and pay the old-age insurance premium. After receiving the report, the labor inspection department has the right to inspect the relevant enterprises, and if the problem is found to be true, it shall punish the enterprises that fail to pay the endowment insurance according to the regulations.
