Is it legal for the company to buy social security for employees in different places?

It depends. Whether it is because of employees or companies, payment in different places needs the consent of both parties, and the operation needs to comply with relevant policies and regulations, otherwise there will be hidden dangers and labor disputes in the future. For example, seeing a doctor, buying a house, and sending children to school. If you don't agree to the company's insurance in different places, you can first look at the registered place of Party A's company in the labor contract, and you have the right to refuse as long as you don't apply for insurance in the registered place. Social security contributions are borne by some units and individuals, and units have the right to withhold and remit from wages. However, if the unit deducts the social security part from the salary, it can also report the complaint to the local labor department.

Legal basis:

"Interim Measures for the Administration of Social Insurance Registration" Article 6 Social insurance registration shall be subject to territorial management.

If the payer has a branch in a different place, the branch shall generally apply for social insurance registration as an independent payer to the local social insurance agency.

Cross-regional payment units, their social insurance registration places shall be determined by the relevant regions through consultation. If there are different opinions, the place of registration shall be determined by the social insurance agency at the next higher level.
