What if the company doesn't pay wages during the epidemic?

During the epidemic, the wages paid to employees are divided into the following situations:

1. During the leave period of employees who cannot provide normal work due to the epidemic situation, if the employer delays or cannot resume work, after consultation with the employees, the employer may use the annual leave of employees and other holidays to offset the working days. If employees can't provide normal labor after taking advantage of various holidays, the employer can negotiate with employees in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state on wage payment during shutdown: within a wage payment period, pay wages according to the standards agreed in the labor contract; If the payment period exceeds one salary, the employer shall pay the living expenses in accordance with the relevant provisions, and the living expenses standard shall not be less than 80% of the local minimum wage standard.

2. Due to the epidemic situation, the employer arranges employees to work online and at home, which is regarded as normal work and should be paid according to law. During the epidemic period, the employer can arrange employees to complete work tasks at home according to work needs. Employees who work at home also provide labor, and the employer shall pay the employees' wages according to the regulations. If the workload of employees does not decrease, the employer shall pay according to the normal wage standard; If the employee's workload is insufficient, the employer can negotiate with the employee the salary standard during working at home.

3. If an employee can't return to work due to epidemic prevention and control, his salary during this period is based on the relatively fixed labor remuneration he can get during his normal work, but it does not include overtime pay (except the fixed monthly overtime pay stipulated by the employer) and various allowances, subsidies or bonuses that are not fixed under special circumstances.

4. The agreement between employers and employees that wages are not paid before the end of the epidemic may also be considered invalid. The employer and the employee reached an agreement to adjust the salary in Tongqing Bay during this period, and the salary shall not be lower than the standard stipulated by laws and regulations. The employer shall continue to pay social insurance for the employees unless other preferential measures are promulgated by the local government. However, it is valid for both parties to reduce or cancel the bonus payment through consultation.

Is it a work-related injury when employees engage in voluntary activities and are infected with pneumonia virus during the epidemic?

It may be recognized as a work-related injury.

According to the laws of our country, if an employee dies in the line of duty in activities such as emergency rescue and disaster relief to safeguard national interests and public interests, it is regarded as a work-related injury and enjoys the treatment of work-related injury insurance in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance. Accordingly, during the epidemic period, employees infected with pneumonia virus in voluntary activities may be identified as work-related injuries.

Summary: In short, the longer the epidemic lasts, the more serious the economic losses will be for both enterprises and workers.
