During the epidemic, employees work at home or stop production, how to pay wages?

Recently, the epidemic situation in Putian, Quanzhou and Xiamen has been severe again. This epidemic is complicated and spreads quickly. Some streets and communities are closed, which has a great impact on life and production. Many employees in high-risk areas need to be isolated at home and cannot go to work normally. In this case, many enterprise HR and employees want to know how to pay wages in this case.

In fact, in 2020, the Notice of Fujian Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security on Defining Issues Related to the Payment of Workers' Living Expenses during the Shutdown Period has been explained.

1. If the unit stops production or business for more than one wage payment period due to reasons other than the workers, and the employer fails to arrange the workers to work, it shall pay the living expenses of the workers not less than 70% of the local minimum wage.

Two, this notice shall be implemented as of the date of issuance. If the current standard of living expenses in our province is inconsistent with this notice, this notice shall prevail.

Talk about the main ways of paying wages during the period of home isolation that everyone cares about:

1. The government has taken measures to close the city or other emergency measures, resulting in the company's employees unable to provide normal labor: enterprises need to pay their employees normally.

2. If the company arranges employees to work online at home by telephone or internet. : Pay employees' wages normally.

3. If the enterprise has no conditions to arrange employees to work at home, it may consider arranging them to take annual leave or other welfare leave. Finish your vacation first. During holidays, employees will be paid normally.

Four. If the employee applies for an extension of work after the holiday, the employee's salary shall be determined after consultation with the employer; If the employee applies for personal leave: no salary is required during the personal leave.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) If COVID-19 patients still need to take sick leave according to the doctor's advice after being released from isolation, they should pay sick leave wages to their employees.

It is particularly important to note that how to check attendance and how to measure work standards and quality in home online office requires communication and consultation between enterprises and employees. Only when both parties acquire knowledge can disputes not arise.

According to Article 4 1 of the Labor Contract Law, when the production and operation of the employing unit encounter serious difficulties, measures are taken to reduce the staff and reduce the normal operation of the enterprise. However, if enterprises want to meet the substantive conditions and perform the prepared procedures, they must pay economic compensation according to the working years of employees.

Some people say that the death rate of COVID-19's disease may be 0.0 1%, but the hunger rate without work, income and food is 100%. This is not sarcasm, but fact. Wage income is an important guarantee for employees' survival.

Enterprises can flexibly regulate and control according to their own actual conditions within the scope permitted by laws and policies, remember to protect the vital interests of employees and build harmonious labor relations!

The relationship between enterprises and employees can be said to be that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold Only when the enterprise is good can the salary, welfare and future development of employees be guaranteed. During the epidemic, only mutual understanding, mutual support and good consultation can tide over the difficulties.

Dear friends in the workplace, have you ever worked at home or stopped working during the epidemic, which affected the salary payment?
