In plain words
If a person has worked a full month and no written contract has been signed, from the second month on you must pay double wages for each month, counted up to a full year. Social insurance must be registered within 30 days of starting to employ someone, and if you don't, the fine is 1 to 3 times the social insurance fees owed. The law has no item for an "employee voluntarily giving up social insurance."
