Article 12 If the unit stops work or stops production within a wage payment period due to reasons other than the employee, the employer shall pay the employee wages according to the standards stipulated in the labor contract. If the wage payment period exceeds one period, if the laborer provides normal labor, the labor remuneration paid to the laborer shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard; If the laborer fails to provide normal labor, it shall be handled in accordance with relevant state regulations.

The state attaches great importance to the protection of employees' rights and interests during the epidemic, and the relevant regulations issued by enterprises should be strictly implemented.
