How to calculate the salary of pregnant women during maternity leave

I believe that many female friends nowadays are unwilling to give up their jobs because of pregnancy. Now many corporate benefits are relatively standardized. Pregnant women have maternity leave, and there will also be certain maternity insurance, and there will also be salary during the maternity leave. So how should the maternity leave salary of pregnant women during the maternity leave be calculated? Let’s take a look together below.

How to calculate maternity leave salary

When the employer pays maternity insurance for female workers, the salary and benefits of female workers during maternity leave are:

1. Maternity insurance.

2. Childbirth medical expenses.

3. Medical expenses for surgical treatment under the family planning policy.

4. Other fees required by our country and local authorities.

All the above expenses are paid by social insurance funds.

In this case, maternity insurance should be regarded as the maternity leave salary of the female worker. However, because the calculation method of maternity insurance is: the female worker's own contribution base for the month of pregnancy divided by the number of maternity leave days, the amount of the subsidy may be less than the female worker's own salary. Therefore, if the amount of maternity insurance is less than the female employee's salary, the employing company shall make up the difference.

How to calculate if the employing company does not pay maternity insurance for female workers?

During the maternity leave, the female employee's salary will be paid by the employing company. The salary here should include hourly wages, time wages, position wages, bonuses, subsidies and allowances, and should be the monthly salary standard of the female worker before taking maternity leave. In addition, female workers can also request that their employers reimburse childbirth medical expenses and pregnancy surgery expenses.

How is salary calculated and distributed during maternity leave?

1. If you have not signed up for maternity insurance, your maternity leave salary will be paid by your employer based on the salary before maternity leave.

2. If you have already signed up for maternity insurance, you can enjoy maternity insurance during your maternity leave, which is your maternity leave pay, paid by the maternity insurance fund.

The maternity insurance that employees are entitled to is calculated based on the employer's average monthly salary of employees in the previous year divided by 30 and then multiplied by the required number of summer vacation days when the employee gives birth or undergoes surgery under the family planning policy.

During the employee's maternity leave, the employing company will advance the maternity insurance on a daily basis according to the employee's original standard salary, and the social insurance agency staff will then organize the funds to be allocated to the employing company as required. In areas with standardized pooling, social security management personnel can organize and authorize financial institutions to distribute maternity insurance directly to employees.
