Social Security Rate Has Changed During Epidemic Period in SH?
Q: Is there any change in the city's social security contribution rate due to the epidemic?
A: According to the provisions of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security and the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Finance on the issuance of the circular on "certain policies and measures in the field of municipal people's associations to fully support the fight against the epidemic"(No. 10[2022] of Shanghai People's associations) , the city will continue to implement the policy of reducing the premium rates of unemployment insurance and industrial injury insurance.
Specific: this city unemployment insurance continues to implement 1% of the contribution rate, of which 0.5% of the unit contribution rate, 0.5% of the individual contribution rate. The basic rate of industrial injury insurance for employers in the first to the eighth categories of industries in this municipality shall continue to be lowered by 20 percent on the basis of the basic rate of industrial injury insurance prescribed by the state.
Note: When the social insurance agency examines the floating rate of the employer's work injury insurance according to the regulations, it shall act in accordance with the adjusted industry benchmark rate.
The city's rate of payment is as follows:

Q: A Netizen left a message asking, "I used to be a self-employed person. I have been paying social security through flexible employment. Recently, because of the epidemic and the poor returns, I applied for a sales job with a company, but I had already paid for 15 years in October last year.". Then, when I arrive at the new company, can I pay social security without the help of the unit and find cash directly for the part that should be paid by individuals?"
A: it's not allowed!
Social insurance is a social security system that the state compulsorily establishes through legislation. Both employing units and workers must participate in social insurance according to law. Even if the employee and the employer negotiated and signed the so-called "agreement" not to participate in social security, it is not legally effective.
The law of the People's Republic of China on social insurance stipulates that the employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agencies for the registration of social insurance for its employees. The employing unit shall, on its own, declare and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, and shall not be held over or exempted for non-statutory reasons such as force majeure. The social insurance premiums that employees shall pay shall be withheld and paid by the employing unit.
Although this netizen has already paid for 15 years, and met the conditions for applying for basic old-age pension at present, as long as there is labor-employment relationship with the unit, to fulfill the legal obligation to participate in social insurance. Moreover, from the perspective of protecting the rights and interests of workers, the current level of pension treatment is closely related to factors such as payment time, that is, we often say "pay more, get more". The longer the years of contribution, the higher the level of contribution, the more old-age pension will be received.
Finally, we remind employers and workers, to participate in social insurance oh ~ in accordance with the law to participate in insurance, enjoy rights and security!
Q: Affected by the epidemic, the unit cannot submit a work-related injury determination application within the prescribed time limit? Will it have an impact on the follow-up work capacity appraisal of the injured person?
A: according to the provisions of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security and the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Finance on the issuance of the circular on "certain policies and measures in the field of municipal people's associations to fully support the fight against the epidemic"(No. 10[2022] of Shanghai People's associations) , if, as a result of the epidemic situation, the employing units, employees or their close relatives or trade union organizations are unable to file an application for the determination of work-related injuries or the appraisal of work capacity within the prescribed time limit, the time affected by the outbreak may be deducted from the time limit for application.
If the administrative departments of human resources and social security at various levels and the labor ability appraisal committees are affected by the epidemic situation and find it difficult to make the conclusion of the work injury determination and the labor ability appraisal according to the legal time limit, the hearing time limit may be extended accordingly. The administrative departments of human resources and Social Security of each district shall prepare a notification of the extension of the trial time for the determination of work-related injury, and inform the parties concerned in a timely manner.
After the impact of the epidemic has been eliminated, the administrative departments of human resources and Social Security at all levels and labor capacity appraisal committees shall make relevant conclusions in a timely manner.
