What if the company doesn't pay wages during the epidemic isolation period?

During the epidemic period, the wages during the period of self-isolation at home are paid according to the local living standards, and the relevant standards can be formulated by the local government in light of the actual situation. Under certain circumstances, if the employer refuses to implement the relevant wages during the epidemic period, the workers may arbitrate. During the period of self-isolation at home during the epidemic, living expenses should be paid. 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 Pneumonia Infection in novel coronavirus, if an enterprise has difficulties in production and operation due to the epidemic situation, it can stabilize its post by adjusting wages, taking shifts and shortening working hours. Negotiate with employees and try not to lay off employees as much as possible. 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. 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. 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.

According to the relevant regulations, if the laborer cannot go to work normally due to the epidemic situation or epidemic prevention and control measures, the employer shall pay labor remuneration according to different situations. If the employer arranges you to provide normal work by means of home office or telecommuting, it is regarded as normal attendance, and the employer shall pay you wages according to the salary standard during normal attendance.
