Are employers required to pay a salary differential during maternity leave?
Employers are explicitly required to pay a salary differential during the employee’s maternity leave. According to Republic Act No. 11210, this is the precise difference between the full salary and actual SSS benefits. The employer must cover this financial gap so the mother receives her complete regular income. This ensures the worker suffers absolutely no financial loss while on her mandatory leave. 16-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
