Amount of maternity benefit in replacement rate

Coding rules

We extracted the replacement rate, i.e. the percentage of prior wage, from the “amount of maternity benefit (in original units)”. In case of flat rates or minimum wages, we standardized these cases into a replacement rate based on other exist-ing databases. However, we did not find relevant information to convert the absolute values to replacement rates in the following examples, which are coded as “0.99” instead.
