During the period of temporary work-related injury, the salary will remain unchanged and will be paid by the unit where he works on a monthly basis. Generally, the shutdown leave with salary period shall not exceed 12 months, and the extension applied for shall not exceed 12 months. The employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of occurrence of the accident injury or the date of being diagnosed and identified as an occupational disease, apply to the social insurance administrative department of the overall planning area for identification of work-related injury.
 Legal basis:
 Article 33 of the Regulations on Industrial Injury Insurance: If an employee needs to suspend work to receive medical treatment for industrial injury due to accident injury or occupational disease at work, the original wages and benefits will remain unchanged during the period of suspension with salary, and the unit to which he belongs will pay him monthly.
 The downtime leave with salary period is generally not more than 12 months. If the injury is serious or the situation is special, it can be extended appropriately after being confirmed by the labor capacity appraisal committee of the city divided into districts, but the extension shall not exceed 12 months. After assessing the level of disability, the injured workers shall stop paying their original benefits and enjoy disability benefits in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Chapter. If the injured workers still need treatment after the period of suspension with salary expires, they shall continue to enjoy medical treatment for work-related injuries.
 If an injured worker who is unable to take care of himself or herself needs nursing care during the period of suspension with pay, the unit to which he or she belongs shall be responsible.
