Do you need a labor contract to pay social security?

Whether the labor contract needs to pay social security generally depends on the situation:

1. To pay social security for employees, a labor contract is required. When the company buys social security for employees, the information provided by the relevant responsible person of the unit includes the original business license and the original social security of the unit. If the unit has already handled the integration of five certificates, it is not necessary to provide it. A copy of the employee's ID card and a copy of the insured employee's resident ID card shall be handled by the company. The local "Application Form for Change of Social Insurance Personnel" shall be filled in and sealed by the unit, and other materials required by the local authorities, such as labor contracts or labor contracts;

2. If you pay social security yourself, you don't need a labor contract.

The state and society establish a social insurance system in accordance with certain laws and regulations to solve the basic life of workers after they reach the working age limit stipulated by the state, terminate their labor obligations or quit their jobs because of old age. A system that provides material assistance to workers who have temporarily interrupted their sources of livelihood because of unemployment, thus ensuring the basic livelihood of unemployed people during unemployment and promoting their re-employment.

Legal basis: Article 57 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).

The employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of its establishment, apply to the local social insurance agency for social insurance registration with its business license, registration certificate or unit seal. The social insurance agency shall, within fifteen days from the date of receiving the application, examine and issue the social insurance registration certificate.

Where the social insurance registration items of the employing unit are changed or the employing unit is terminated according to law, it shall, within 30 days from the date of change or termination, go to the social insurance agency to handle the change or cancellation of social insurance registration.

The market supervision and management department, the civil affairs department and the organization management organ shall promptly inform the social insurance agency of the establishment and termination of the employing unit, and the public security organ shall promptly inform the social insurance agency of the birth, death, household registration, migration and cancellation of the individual.
