4. The number of employees in our company is fewer than 5. Is the company therefore not required to enroll its employees in the employment insurance program?

Although companies/firms with fewer than 5 employees are not compulsorily required to participate in the labor insurance program, they may enroll their employees in labor insurance on a voluntary basis. The employees will be simultaneously covered by employment insurance and labor occupational accident insurance when they become enrolled in the labor insurance program. All registered business units with more than 1 employee are legally required to participate in the employment insurance and labor occupational accident insurance program. Companies/firms with fewer than 5 employees and are unwilling to enroll its employees in the labor insurance program are still required to obtain employment insurance and labor occupational accident insurance coverage for their employees.
