Since May 2019, China has implemented a "double reduction" policy for flexible employment personnel, that is, to reduce the proportion and base of social security contributions to reduce their insurance participation.
This policy will continue this year. However, while enjoying this policy, there are four important details that flexible workers need to pay attention to.
First of all, pay attention to the issue of supplementary payment of social security premiums.
Flexible workers may miss or not pay their social security contributions for a variety of reasons. While enjoying the "double reduction" policy, they need to pay attention to making up for the missed or unpaid social security fees in a timely manner.
This ensures the continuity of insurance benefits and avoids interruption of insurance benefits due to non-payment.
Secondly, understand the changes in the acceptance department of the social security payment base.
In the past, the social security department was usually responsible for the acceptance of the social security contribution base. However, according to the latest policy, some regions have entrusted the processing of the social security contribution base to the tax department.
Flexible workers need to be aware of this change and contact the correct receiving authority at the time of payment to ensure that the contribution base is accurately declared and processed.
Third, pay attention to the procedures for the suspension of insurance when terminating the insurance.
Flexible workers may choose to terminate their participation for a variety of reasons, such as switching to another type of work or no longer meeting the eligibility criteria.
When terminating the policy, they need to go through the cancellation procedures in time to avoid unnecessary premium expenses due to not completing the cancellation procedures in time.
Finally, pay attention to the processing of unpaid data.
Flexible workers may not pay their social security contributions or pay them in a timely manner for a variety of reasons. While enjoying the "double drop" policy, they need to pay attention to the processing of unpaid data.
Some regions may take steps to require flexible workers to pay outstanding fees or apply for exemptions within a certain period of time.
Flexible employees should keep abreast of relevant policies and requirements, and go through the procedures for handling unpaid fee data in accordance with regulations.
In short, the "double reduction" policy for flexible employees will continue to be implemented in 2024 to reduce their pressure to participate in insurance.
However, while enjoying this policy, flexible workers also need to pay attention to four important details of their participation.
By getting these details right, flexible workers can better enjoy the dividends of the social security policy and ensure that their insurance benefits are continuous and legitimate.
