Do you need to pay social security for the cooperation agreement

Legal analysis: No need. If you are a company employee, you need to pay social security. If it is only an investment partnership and does not belong to the employees of the company, the company does not need to pay social security for it. Social insurance is compulsory. If all companies hire workers to work for themselves and sign labor contracts, they need to pay social insurance for them, even enterprises with cooperation agreements are no exception.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The employing unit shall handle 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. Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration. The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
