I am going to apply for maternity leave for 6 months. My current employer (a foreign company) defines that: The company will not pay all the salary during employee’s maternity. It will be paid by the social security agency as prescribed by law. Therefore, during my maternity leave, I will not receive the salary and have to wait until the end of the maternity leave for the social security agency to pay my benefits. Is that correct?
If you fulfill all the requirements about contribution on social insurance scheme, after giving birth to your child, you should submit all required documents to your company to compile the dossier for maternity benefits. You do not have to wait until the end of your maternity leave to claim your benefits.
