[Direct answer]It is illegal to reduce the salary of female employees during the breastfeeding period. According to the "Special Regulations on Labor Protection for Female Employees" and the "Labor Contract Law", during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, employers are not allowed to reduce salaries or terminate contracts due to breastfeeding.

Then, seek arbitration to require the employer to make up the salary and provide compensation.

1. Problem background and typical scenarios

Is it illegal to reduce a breastfeeding mother's salary? This is one of the most common rights and interests issues between workers and employers. The time limit for work-related injury recognition, proof of labor relations, and compensation for unlawful termination all involve vital interests. Many employees suffer setbacks in protecting their rights due to a lack of evidence awareness. In practice, the outcomes of similar issues highly depend on the completeness of evidence and the timing of procedures. It is recommended to establish a timeline and a list of materials at the early stage of the dispute, distinguish between key facts and emotional demands, avoid obtaining evidence at the last minute, which may make claims hard to be accepted, and also avoid missing the best window for negotiation or evidence collection. Developing the habit of keeping written communications and receipts is crucial for subsequent negotiations or litigation evidence collection.

First, the determination of the causality between labor relations and work-related injuries; Second, the employer's full liability for compensation when social insurance has not been paid; Third, the calculation of illegal dismissal and economic compensation; Fourth, the concurrence of third-party infringement and work-related injuries.
