Does the company pay social security during maternity leave?

During maternity leave, the social security payment unit will continue to be paid by the employer, and the personal part will be handed over to the unit by the female employee on maternity leave, which will be paid by the unit in a unified way. According to Article 8 of the Special Provisions on Labor Protection of Female Employees, if a female employee gives birth or miscarries and the employer has participated in maternity insurance, the maternity insurance fund will pay maternity allowance to the female employee according to the average monthly salary of the employer in the previous year.
