Will the company still pay social security during the maternity leave of female employees?

Legal analysis: Yes. Employers must purchase social insurance for employees in accordance with regulations, including endowment insurance and medical insurance. During maternity leave, wages and bonuses are paid normally. At the same time, it should be noted that although the laborer did not go to work in the company during this period, the labor relationship with the employer has not been terminated and is still in a continuous state. Therefore, for social security, the part paid by the unit still needs to be paid by the unit.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

Fifty-third employees should participate in maternity insurance, the employer should pay maternity insurance premiums in accordance with state regulations, and employees do not pay maternity insurance premiums.

Article 60 The employing unit shall declare on its own and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time. Except for legal reasons such as force majeure, the payment shall not be postponed or reduced. The social insurance premiums that employees should pay shall be withheld and remitted by the employer, and the employer shall inform me of the details of paying social insurance premiums on a monthly basis. Individual industrial and commercial households without employees, part-time employees who have not participated in social insurance in the employing units and other flexible employees can pay social insurance premiums directly to the social insurance premium collection agencies.
