Who will bear the social security for employees who take sick leave?

Legal analysis: during the sick leave, there is also a labor relationship with the employer. According to the relevant provisions of national laws, the company should pay social security fees for employees whose sick leave is within the prescribed medical period, rather than refusing to pay social security fees because of their sick leave.

Article 8 of the Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Implementation of the Labor Law stipulates that employees who take long sick leave shall maintain labor relations with their original units during the sick leave period, and the employer shall sign labor contracts with them.

Legal basis: Article 73 of the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC): Laborers shall enjoy social insurance benefits according to law under the following circumstances:

(1) Retirement;

(2) Being sick or injured;

(3) Being disabled at work or suffering from occupational diseases;

(4) unemployment;

(5) bearing.

After the death of an employee, his survivors shall enjoy the survivors' allowance according to law.

The conditions and standards for workers to enjoy social insurance benefits shall be stipulated by laws and regulations.

Social insurance premiums enjoyed by workers must be paid in full and on time.
