During the epidemic period, employees' wages should pay at least the minimum wage, and employees who do not take part in the work should also pay the living expenses of the prescribed standard. According to the relevant provisions of the Notice of the General Office of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on Properly Handling the Labor Relations during the Prevention and Control of the novel coronavirus Epidemic, if an enterprise is affected by the epidemic and has difficulties in production and operation, it can stabilize its post by adjusting wages, taking breaks in rotation and shortening working hours. And try not to lay off employees or minimize them. Eligible enterprises can enjoy stable job subsidies according to regulations. If an enterprise stops production within a wage payment period, the enterprise shall pay the wages of its employees according to the standards agreed in the labor contract.

What should I do if my salary exceeds one salary cycle?

If the salary payment period exceeds one, and the laborer provides normal labor, the salary paid by the enterprise to the laborer shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard. If the employees fail to provide normal labor, the enterprise shall pay the living expenses, and the standard of living expenses shall be implemented in accordance with the measures stipulated by the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. Due to the epidemic situation, if the parties cannot apply for arbitration of labor and personnel disputes within the statutory arbitration period, the arbitration period shall be suspended. The limitation period of arbitration shall continue to be counted from the date when the reasons for suspension of limitation are eliminated. Due to the epidemic situation, it is difficult for labor and personnel dispute arbitration institutions to hear cases within the statutory time limit, and the trial period can be extended accordingly.

To sum up, local human resources and social security departments should strengthen labor guidance and services to enterprises affected by the epidemic, strengthen labor security supervision and law enforcement, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees.
