Is it illegal for self-employed bosses not to buy social security for employees?

In this case, it is illegal not to buy social security for employees.

According to the relevant laws and regulations on the collection and payment of social insurance, individual industrial and commercial households must handle endowment insurance and medical insurance for employees. The labor inspection department said that self-employed individuals will also be punished if they do not apply for social security, and those who refuse to participate in the insurance and the circumstances are serious will be fined up to 1 10,000 yuan.

According to the law of our country, the employer should register social insurance 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.
