During the epidemic period, the wages paid to employees are divided into the following situations:

1. Due to the epidemic situation, the employer can use the annual leave and other holidays of employees to offset the working days during the employee's vacation period that can't provide normal work, such as the delayed return to work or the non-return period. If employees can't provide normal labor after using all kinds of holidays, the employing unit can negotiate with employees in accordance with the relevant regulations of the state on wage payment during shutdown: within a wage payment period, pay wages according to the standards stipulated in the labor contract; If the payment period exceeds one wage, the employer shall pay the living expenses in accordance with the relevant regulations, and the living expenses standard shall not be less than 81% of the local minimum wage standard.

2. Due to the epidemic situation, the employer arranges employees to work online or at home, which is regarded as normal work and should be paid according to law. During the epidemic period, the employer can arrange for employees to complete their work tasks at home according to their work needs. Employees working at home also provide labor, and the employer should pay employees wages in accordance with regulations. If the workload of employees is not reduced, the employer shall pay them according to the normal wage standard; If the workload of the employees is insufficient, the employer can negotiate with the employees about the salary standard during working at home.

3. If employees fail to return to work due to epidemic prevention and control, their wages during this period shall be based on the relatively fixed labor remuneration they can get during their normal work, but excluding overtime pay (except the monthly fixed overtime pay stipulated by the employer) and allowances, subsidies or bonuses that are not fixed under various special circumstances.

4. The agreement between the employer and the employee that no wages need to be paid before the epidemic ends may also be deemed invalid. The employer and the employees reached an agreement to adjust the salary of Tongqingwan during this period, and the salary should not be lower than the standard stipulated by laws and regulations, and the employer should continue to pay social insurance for the employees, unless the local government promulgated other preferential measures. However, it is effective for both parties to reduce or cancel the bonus payment by consensus.
