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 cases of flat rates or minimum wages, we standardized these into replacement rates based on other existing databases. However, in certain instances where we could not find relevant information to convert the absolute values to replacement rates, these cases are coded as “-777”, see below:
