Can the company pay social security for one person alone?

Legal analysis: Yes. If the company is insured, it must pay pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, work injury insurance and maternity insurance, which will inevitably increase the company's expenses. Therefore, it is not too late for the company to go through the relevant procedures of social insurance payment when recruiting employees.

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

Article 4

Employers and individuals in People's Republic of China (PRC) pay social insurance premiums according to law, and have the right to inquire about payment records and personal rights records, and require social insurance agencies to provide social insurance consultation and other related services.

Individuals enjoy social insurance benefits according to law and have the right to supervise the payment of their own units.
