Do you have to go to work when the typhoon comes in the factory?

Employees can refuse to go to work when the government department issues a shutdown notice on a typhoon day. The yellow warning of typhoon began, and some classes were suspended to see the boss.

After typhoon yellow, orange, red and rainstorm red warning signal were released by the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, it was suggested that the employer stop work or postpone work. If you encounter a "red rainstorm" on your way to work, it is recommended to take refuge in a safe place nearby. The notice of four stops in typhoon weather is an administrative decision, and the employer has the obligation to abide by it. If the employer still forces employees to go to work normally in typhoon weather, employees can refuse, which does not constitute absenteeism.

Relevant laws

According to Article 15 of the Regulations on Work-related Injury Insurance, there is only one kind of work-related injury on the way to and from work, that is, "being injured by a traffic accident or an urban rail transit, passenger ferry or train accident that is not my main responsibility on the way to and from work". This regulation is mainly a special regulation to protect vulnerable groups by considering the degree of injury caused by traffic accidents.

As for the casualties caused by the typhoon blowing down, falling down and smashing on the way to and from work, they are not injured because they do not perform their duties, and there is no legal basis. They cannot be regarded as work-related injuries and can only be treated as accidents.
