Notification of Employee Reduction Due to Maternity Leave in 2021

Section 1 Article 34 of the Law on Social Insurance 2014 stipulates:

Female employees giving birth are entitled to maternity leave before and after childbirth for a total of 06 months. In the case of giving birth to twins or more, starting from the second child, for each additional child, the mother is entitled to an additional 01 month of leave.

The maximum period of maternity leave before childbirth is not more than 02 months.

And according to Section 3 Article 85 of this Law: Employees who do not work and do not receive a salary for 14 or more working days in a month are not required to pay social insurance for that month. This period is not counted for social insurance benefits, except for cases of taking maternity leave.

Therefore, when there is an employee on maternity leave, the unit needs to carry out procedures to report the reduction of employees taking maternity leave.

The dossier components include (Article 23 Decision 595/QD-BHXH of 2017):

- Declaration of participation and adjustment of social insurance, health insurance information (Form TK3-TS).

- List of employees participating in social insurance, health insurance, unemployment insurance, occupational accident and disease insurance (Form D02-TS).

- Information list (Form D01-TS).

Sincerely!
