本报讯 公司与劳动者协商后，劳动者出具承诺书同意公司不为其缴纳社保，该约定是否有效？公 司补缴社保产生的滞纳金由谁承担？近日，江苏省连云港市赣榆区人民法院审理了这样一起案件，法院 判决社保滞纳金由公司自行承担。 2020年5月，崔某入职某公司工作。2021年9月，某公司与崔某协商不为其缴纳社保，崔某同意后并 在承诺书中签字确认。后崔某向人力资源和社会保障局进行投诉，某公司为崔某补缴社保费用9000余元 并缴纳滞纳金8000余元。该公司随后向法院起诉，要求崔某向其给付其已经实际支出的滞纳金8000余 元。 法院审理认为，缴纳社会保险费是用人单位的法定义务，不属于劳动关系双方协商约定的事项，崔 某虽签署承诺书同意某公司不为其缴纳社保，但双方不缴纳社保的约定因违反法律强制性规定，应属无 效。某公司作为用人单位未及时履行缴纳社会保险费的法定义务，社会保险经办机构对该行为加收滞纳 金是对用人单位的惩罚措施，由此产生的社保滞纳金应由某公司自行承担，其无权要求崔某赔偿。法院 遂判决驳回某公司的诉讼请求。该判决现已生效。（杨飞） 法官说法 《中华人民共和国劳动法》第七十二条规定："用人单位和劳动者必须依法参加社会保险，缴纳社 ...
