    If you mean social insurance contributions, my understanding is yes. Alternatively, social welfare will give you credits.

    As you are pregnant, check out Health & Safety Benefit, to see if it is relevant.

    If your employer doesnt pay you while you are on sick leave then no they will not be paying a contribution for you but while you are on illness benefit you will receive a credited contribution from social welfare.
