Employees can log on Personal Social Security Online Service System （https://sipub.sz.gov.cn/hspms/）, click "Online processing", "Maternity insurance", "Maternity allowance payment", click “next” after reading the processing instructions, then fill in the applicant's information, the number of days of prenatal leave, and the bank account information, etc. Once the system matches the data successfully, click "Confirm", the system will then jump to the confirmation interface. After checking the information, click "Submit for review" to complete the process. The social security bureau will send a message and inform the applicant of the review result( The childbirth allowance will be paid within 10 working days).

Employees who have been paid childbirth allowance will be regarded as they have been paid corresponding amount of salary. If the childbirth allowance is lower than the employee’s salary, the balance shall be paid by the employer.

According to “Guangdong Maternity Insurance Regulations”, the childbirth allowance for the days of maternity leave is as follows: normal delivery 98 days; Cesarean delivery will be granted an additional 30 days; If employees have multiple babies, an additional 15 days will be granted for each extra baby. Therefore, the “Award Leave” that employees enjoyed according to “ Guangdong Population and Family Planning Regulations”(Extra 80 days of maternity leave for female, 15 days of paternity leave for male) won’t be paid with childbirth allowance. However, employers shall pay salary to their employees for “Award Leave”, which won’t affect employee’s benefit and attendance bonus.

Employers shall pay social insurance and housing provident fund for their employees during the maternity leave. Employers can discuss with the employees about the deduction method for individual’s part in advance.
