What does it mean to pay social security by a third party?

Legal analysis: employees' social security payment must be "employer", that is, the unit that signs a labor contract with employees to establish a labor employment relationship, and the labor contract is signed with the company, then social security should be paid in the name of the company. If the employee has a labor relationship with the company, it needs to be paid by the company's social security account, which means that the employee's social security relationship must be linked to the company's social security account.

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.
