Where is the social security paid by the outsourcing company?

Legal analysis: Generally speaking, enterprises (actual employers) do not need to buy social security for outsourced employees. Because usually when an enterprise signs an agreement with an outsourcing service company (the actual employer), it will stipulate that the outsourcing company will buy social security for the outsourced employees, so the enterprise does not need to buy social security for the workers. Of course, if there is no clear agreement between the two parties when signing the outsourcing contract, then the actual employer must handle social security for the employees.
