Is Xiamen social security paid by freelancers themselves or by affiliated companies? Is the social security payment company reliable?

It's best to pay social security by yourself, and it's more complicated to call the company.

The affiliated company will generally help you to affiliated with its registered company name and pay five insurances and one gold for you in the name of employees. You have to bear the part that should be borne by the enterprise and the personal part that employees have to pay, and you have to pay a small service fee to the social security affiliated company.

A compliant social security affiliated company should have a business license issued by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and a human resources service license approved by the local human resources and social security bureau. Never find some unqualified companies as agents. For regular affiliated companies, legal and effective social security affiliated contracts will be signed, and the funds will be earmarked for special purposes. The social security fees paid by customers are all in a special account, which will be used to transfer to the social security bureau every month.
