How to calculate the paternity leave salary of male employees?

The calculation method of paternity leave salary for male employees is:

1. Wages during paternity leave are generally paid according to the local social average wage standard. If the wages of employees are higher than the average social wage standard at that time, the employer shall make up the difference;

2. If the employer fails to purchase maternity insurance for employees, the wages of employees during paternity leave shall be paid according to the contract wages of employees.

Salary algorithm during maternity leave:

1, maternity leave, paid according to sick leave. Maternity leave has a doctor's certificate, so wages are paid as sick leave;

2. Prenatal leave, with a salary of 80%. If you are pregnant for more than 7 months and have a work permit, you can take two and a half months' prenatal leave upon your own application and the approval of the unit. If the local laws and regulations stipulate that it is necessary to ask for leave, with the consent of the unit, the salary will be paid according to 80% of the employee's actual salary standard in the previous month;

3. Maternity leave and maternity allowance. Maternity allowance is a state subsidy for enterprises to pay their wages during maternity leave, but its calculation method is related to the wage base declared by enterprises in the social security department, so the actual maternity allowance is not equal to maternity leave wages.

To sum up, paternity leave for male employees is paid. If the employer pays social insurance premiums (including maternity insurance) for employees according to law, the wages of employees during paternity leave shall be paid by the social security center after the employer applies to the social security center.
