Dependent unit to pay social security illegal

Legal analysis: illegal. No unit or individual shall "obtain the qualification for social insurance participation and payment through fictitious labor relations, forged documents and other means", that is to say, it is illegal to "rely on" to pay social security.

Legal basis: The Social Insurance Law of the People's Republic of China Article 58 An employer shall, within thirty days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. If the employer fails to register for social insurance, the social insurance agency shall approve the social insurance premiums to be paid by the employer. Individual entrepreneurs without employees who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time workers who do not participate in social insurance with their employers, and other flexibly employed persons shall apply for social insurance registration with the social insurance administration organization. The State establishes a nationally unified individual social security number. Individual social security numbers are citizens' identity numbers.
