What about social security during work-related injuries?

Legal analysis: During the employee's work-related injury, the employer still needs to pay social insurance for the disabled employee.

Legal basis: Article 33 of the Regulations on Industrial Injury Insurance. If an employee needs to suspend work to receive work-related injury medical treatment due to an industrial accident or occupational disease, the original salary and welfare benefits will remain unchanged during the period of suspension with pay, and the employer will pay them 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.
