New Policy
From Sept 1, "No-Social Insurance" Agreements Become Void!
The new regulations have sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Participating in social insurance in accordance with the law is a legal obligation for both employers and employees. In response to the problems such as employers evading social insurance contributions and employees voluntarily giving up social insurance that exist in practice, the judicial interpretation has made clear stipulations:
Whether it is a mutual agreement between the company and the employees or a unilateral commitment by the employees, any agreement stating "not to pay social insurance" is invalid.
If a worker terminates the labor contract on the grounds that the employer failed to legally pay social insurance premiums, and requests the employer to pay economic compensation, the people's court shall legally support such request.
Rules for paying
economic compensation
Workers will be paid one month's salary for each full year of work, and half a month's salary for less than six months of work.
After the administrative authority orders the employer to make up for the social insurance contributions, if the employer has already paid the social insurance fees to the employees in the form of subsidies, they can request a refund.
