Case: an allowance in place of social insurance
An official typical case from the Supreme People's Court examines an agreement replacing social-insurance contributions with an allowance. The court held such an agreement invalid, and the worker was entitled to economic compensation after terminating employment on that ground.
What happened
In the published case (Case Six), the employer did not make social-insurance contributions and paid an allowance instead. The worker terminated the employment contract on that ground. The court held the agreement invalid and supported the worker's claim for economic compensation.
How to read the outcome
Use Case Six in the original publication to review the facts and reasoning. A case outcome is not a substitute for checking your own evidence. The case confirms that social insurance contributions are a statutory obligation that cannot be waived by agreement.
