How to pay social security during maternity leave

Legal analysis: during maternity leave, employees did not terminate their labor relations with their units, so employers must continue to pay social insurance for employees in accordance with regulations, and employees themselves must continue to pay social insurance. The employing unit shall declare itself and pay social insurance premiums in full and on time, and shall not postpone or reduce the payment except for legal reasons such as force majeure.

Legal basis: Article 60 of the Social Insurance Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * The employer shall declare by itself and pay the social insurance premium 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.
