What are the risks for companies to help individuals pay social security?

Legal analysis: it is illegal to pay social security, and those who are serious may face jail time. Workers must sign labor contracts with employers and establish labor relations before they can pay social insurance through their employers. If the two parties have not established a labor contract relationship, they are not allowed to pay social security through affiliated institutions. Paying social security actually involves many risks.

Legal basis: Article 23 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), employees shall participate in the basic medical insurance for employees, and the employer and employees shall jointly pay the basic medical insurance premium in accordance with state regulations.

Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in the basic medical insurance for employees and other flexible employees can participate in the basic medical insurance for employees, and individuals pay the basic medical insurance premium in accordance with state regulations.
