If the employer decides to give employees a holiday due to the epidemic, they also need to pay employees' wages. Moreover, giving employees a holiday is not what employers want to do, but that government departments do not allow unrelated enterprises to return to work in advance during the epidemic prevention and control period. During the period of not returning to work, wages and benefits can be paid according to the minimum wage standard after both parties reach an agreement through consultation.

If wages need to be paid during the epidemic period, and the 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. 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. If an enterprise encounters difficulties because the epidemic situation affects its production and operation, it can stabilize its jobs by means of salary adjustment, rotation and shortening working hours. Through consultation with employees, and try not to lay off employees or minimize them.
