Do I need to pay social security if I leave without pay?

Leave without pay and continue to pay social security according to the original standard. The social security during the period of unpaid leave is still paid by the original unit to help the parties, but the salary during the period of unpaid leave is stopped according to the regulations. Continuing to pay social security is the minimum guarantee that the parties will not get into trouble because they leave their jobs without pay. However, if you want to leave without pay, you need the consent of the unit. In fact, it is also very difficult to apply for leave without pay, but you can apply if you need it.

Legal basis:

"Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance" Article 33 If an employee needs to suspend work and receive work-related injury medical treatment due to work-related accidents or occupational diseases, the original salary and welfare benefits will remain unchanged during the paid suspension period, and the unit where he works will pay him monthly.

The paid shutdown period generally does not exceed 12 months. If the injury is serious or the situation is special, it may be appropriately extended upon confirmation by the Municipal Labor Ability Appraisal Committee with districts, but the extension time shall not exceed 12 months. After assessing the disability level, the injured workers shall stop the original treatment and enjoy the disability treatment in accordance with the relevant provisions of this chapter. Workers with work-related injuries who still need treatment after the expiration of paid shutdown shall continue to enjoy medical treatment for work-related injuries.

Workers with work-related injuries who can't take care of themselves need care during the paid shutdown period, and their units are responsible for it.
