Do employees have to pay social security when they leave home for a whole month?

Legal analysis: Social insurance is paid by both units and individuals during personal leave. Paying social insurance premiums is a compulsory obligation of employers. The employee left his job and took a long vacation, and the labor relationship was not terminated. As long as labor relations exist, employers should continue to pay social insurance for workers. When a worker asks for personal leave, the employer may not pay wages, but there is no relevant provision exempting the employer from the legal obligation to pay social insurance premiums. Therefore, during this period, the employer should still pay social insurance premiums.

Legal basis: Article 2 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) The state establishes social insurance systems such as basic old-age insurance, basic medical insurance, industrial injury insurance, unemployment insurance and maternity insurance to protect citizens' right to get material help from the state and society in the event of old age, illness, industrial injury, unemployment and childbirth.
