How to deal with salary reduction during the epidemic?

First, is it normal to pay wages during the period of home isolation because of the epidemic?

Because wages need to be paid normally during the period of home isolation.

According to the Notice of the General Office of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security on Properly Handling Labor Relations during the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia Infected in novel coronavirus, wages and benefits of patients, suspected patients and close contacts infected with pneumonia in novel coronavirus during isolation and medical observation are paid by affiliated enterprises according to their wages during normal work. If the workers are not infected, suspected to be infected or in close contact, and need not be isolated for observation according to local management measures, but they need to be isolated at home before going to work, it is suggested that the employer can take annual leave or negotiate wages with the workers during the period of self-isolation. If negotiation fails, it shall be handled as personal leave or absence.

Second, due to the production and operation difficulties caused by the epidemic, can the employer reduce the salary?

If the unit stops work or production within a salary payment period due to reasons other than the employee, the employer shall pay the employee's salary according to the standards agreed in the labor contract. If the wage payment period is more than one, the wage can be paid according to the labor provided by the laborer and the newly agreed standard, but it shall not be lower than the minimum wage standard of this Municipality.

Three, because of the epidemic can't return to work on time, how to pay wages?

If workers can complete the corresponding work by telephone, internet, etc. , the employer shall pay the wages of workers according to normal attendance; If the work cannot be completed by the above methods, the employer may arrange annual leave for the employees, during which the employees enjoy the same salary as during normal work; If you can't return to work after using up the annual leave, you can also arrange employees to make up attendance in the follow-up work; If you haven't returned to work for a long time, the above methods can't make up for it. During the waiting period, the employer shall pay the basic living expenses according to 70%-80% of the minimum wage in this Municipality.

Because the epidemic is isolated at home, the unit needs to pay employees' wages. If the employee can't return to work for a long time due to isolation, the unit can use annual leave or other legal holidays to deduct it after consultation with the employee.
