Do I have to pay for maternity leave and social security myself?

Maternity allowance for female employees during maternity leave shall be paid by the maternity insurance fund according to the standard of the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year; Those who have not participated in maternity insurance shall be paid by the employer according to the wage standard of female employees before maternity leave.

Social security expenses during maternity leave are not borne independently by themselves, but are still paid by both employers and employees in accordance with the legal proportion. During postpartum maternity leave, continue to enjoy social security benefits. At the same time, the original unit of pregnant women still continues to pay according to the social insurance payment base of last month, and some pregnant women who pay personal contributions can hand them over to the unit themselves and be paid by the unit in a unified manner; You can also negotiate with the company, and the company will withhold or pay in advance and return it later.

When pregnant women take maternity leave in advance, they must show the certificate issued by the hospital, such as the proof that the fetus is unstable, the body is not good and easy to abort, and it is really not suitable for work. It is recommended to rest. In this way, leaving early before formal maternity leave is also considered sick leave, and the salary is paid according to the relevant regulations on sick leave (the salary for sick leave is set by each company, but it seems that it is not less than 80% in policy). Wait until you really take three months off (four months late) before taking maternity leave policy. That is, the maternity leave wages of employees with maternity insurance are paid by social security. The three-month salary of female employees without maternity insurance is paid by the company, which is a normal full salary.

I hope the above content can help you. If in doubt, please consult a professional lawyer.
