Under what circumstances can a company not buy social security?

Legal analysis: Only under the statutory circumstances of force majeure can the employer postpone or reduce the payment of social insurance premiums. Force majeure refers to an objective situation that cannot be foreseen, avoided and overcome. Force majeure includes the following situations:

(1) Natural disasters, such as typhoons, floods and earthquakes;

(2) government actions, such as expropriation and requisition;

(3) Abnormal social events, such as strikes and riots.

If the payer fails to apply for social insurance declaration and payment on time due to force majeure, it may postpone the application.

Because in the case of force majeure, the employer itself is not at fault and is also the victim of force majeure, so the law stipulates that in this case, the social insurance premium can be postponed or reduced. However, after the force majeure situation is eliminated, the employer shall report to the social insurance agency in time, and the social insurance agency shall verify it after finding out the facts.

Legal basis: Article 60 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * The employer shall declare by itself and pay the social insurance premium in full and on time. Except for legal reasons such as force majeure, the payment shall not be postponed or reduced.
