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

Legal analysis: leave your job 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: 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.
