calculate length has nothing to do with the payment of endowment insurance.

what is length of service? Article 38 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Labor Insurance Regulations of the former Ministry of Labor clearly states: "The general length of service refers to the working time when workers and staff take wage income as the whole or main source of their livelihood". The length of service of employees has nothing to do with the payment of endowment insurance, and whether the payment will affect calculate length.

however, after the reform of the basic old-age insurance system, the basic pension for employees' retirement is no longer calculated according to the length of service, but according to the number of years of paying old-age insurance premiums. For employees of administrative institutions and state-owned and collective enterprises at or above the county level, the continuous length of service before the implementation of the local pension insurance individual payment system shall be regarded as the payment period in accordance with state regulations.

The individual payment system for employees of enterprises in China generally started in 1992, and employees paid after 1995. Then, the continuous length of service without payment between 1992 and 1995 cannot be regarded as the payment period.
