How to deal with employee maternity leave social security?

Legal analysis: Because female employees during maternity leave are still employees of the company, they should still pay social insurance. The unit shall continue to pay the unit part according to the social insurance payment base one month before the maternity leave of female employees, and the individual part shall be handed over to the unit by the female employees on maternity leave, which shall be paid uniformly by the unit.

Legal basis: Article 53 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that employees shall participate in maternity insurance, and the employer shall pay maternity insurance premiums in accordance with state regulations, while employees shall not pay maternity insurance premiums.
