The recruiter only gave 1000 maternity leave for six months and did not buy maternity insurance. Can they sue?

Yes, you can.

Maternity leave refers to the leave treatment of working women before and after delivery, generally from half a month before delivery to two and a half months after delivery. Those who marry late and have children late can last up to four months before and after delivery, and female employees can enjoy maternity leave of not less than 98 days. During maternity leave, the employer shall not reduce his salary, dissolve or terminate the labor contract in other forms. Maternity insurance is a social policy that the state provides economic and material assistance to maternity workers through social insurance legislation, which embodies the support and care of the state and society for women. Maternity insurance benefits include maternity medical expenses, maternity allowance and one-time nutrition subsidy. This case mainly involves maternity allowance for female employees during maternity leave. Paragraph 4 of Article 18 of the Regulations on Maternity Insurance for Employees in Jiangsu Province clearly stipulates that if the maternity allowance enjoyed by employees during maternity leave or vacation is lower than their salary before maternity leave or vacation, the employer shall make up for it; If the salary is higher than that before maternity leave or vacation, the employer shall not withhold it. According to this regulation, the employer shall not reduce the salary of female employees during maternity leave. In this case, Li participated in maternity insurance, but the maternity allowance she enjoyed was lower than the salary standard before maternity leave. Li claimed that the photography department paid him 8,000 yuan, which did not exceed the amount that should be reissued, and the court supported it. This case reminds employers that maternity insurance may only be used once or twice for most female employees in their lifetime, and units should earnestly shoulder their responsibilities and provide material conditions for protecting the basic rights of women and children. If a female worker has any objection to the maternity insurance benefits she enjoys, she has the right to inquire with the employer or the social insurance agency. If there is a labor dispute between the employee and the employer due to maternity insurance benefits, she can take up legal weapons to safeguard her legitimate rights and interests.
