In March, Shenzhen Lawyers Association issued the Operational Guidelines for Compliance of Labor and Employment Involved in the COVID-19 Epidemic and the Operational Guidelines, which clearly stipulated the handling methods of labor relations related to the epidemic in Shenzhen. During the period of epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19, if it is necessary to implement isolation due to problems such as community blockade/management control, compulsory isolation by relevant departments, yellow code home isolation, etc., the wages of employees during the isolation period are calculated and paid according to the following standards: 1. Employees who are required to be forcibly isolated (such as confirmed patients, pathogen carriers, suspected patients and close contacts in COVID-19) and cannot work normally without deviating from the basic provisions on epidemic prevention, whether for their own reasons or other problems.
if it is not compulsory isolation, but isolation caused by other problems such as blocking epidemic areas, traveling across regions, staying at home and so on, what are the salaries and benefits?
1. You can work at home during the isolation period. If the employee can work at home during the isolation period after consultation with the company, the company will pay the salary according to the normal attendance status.
2. Those who have no conditions to work at home during the isolation period, but have arranged paid holidays. After negotiation between the two parties, employees can offset paid holidays in advance during their period, and the company needs to pay wages according to the original holiday system. If the isolation time is longer than the paid vacation time originally stipulated, the salary shall be paid according to the third category.
3. During the quarantine period, it is impossible to work at home, and the company does not have paid leave. If the employee's absence time is within a salary payment period (i.e. one month), the company will pay the salary according to the relevant provisions of the labor contract; For those over one month, the company only pays the living expenses. There will be differences in the payment standards of living expenses in different regions. Guangdong Province should not be lower than 81% of the local minimum wage.
To sum up, during the quarantine period in Shenzhen, wages are paid according to certain standards, and you should calculate your due wages according to the standards. In addition, everyone must wear masks when traveling.
Legal basis: "According to Article 41 of China's Law on the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases, the local people's government at or above the county level can implement quarantine measures for people in places where Class A infectious diseases have occurred or in specific areas in the places, and report to the people's government at the next higher level at the same time; The people's government at a higher level that receives the report shall make a decision on whether or not to approve it in time. If the people's government at a higher level makes a decision not to approve, the people's government that implements the isolation measures shall immediately lift the isolation measures. During the period of isolation, the people's government that implements isolation measures shall provide living security for the isolated personnel; If the isolated person has a work unit, the unit where he works shall not stop paying his remuneration during the isolation period.
