Consultation with unions about "payment for leave is not paid" One after another, the effect of the new virus 17:52 on March 11
As companies are taking more and more leave off employees due to the effects of the new coronavirus, it has become clear that consultations have been made that union workers who can join individually are not paid for leave.
Japan Union, a labor union that can be joined by individuals, has been offering labor consultations last month on the 24th to answer consultations related to the new coronavirus.
The number of consultations received was 107 in less than a week until the end of last month, and one-third, or 36, was related to leave allowances.
The Labor Standards Law stipulates that at least 60% of the average wage should be paid if a worker is absent due to company circumstances.
However, in the consultation received, the contract company returning from overseas travel was told by the company to take a break to prevent infection, but the wage was not paid during that time, or the dispatch company ordered to wait at home Was reported to the dispatching company that they couldn't live without work, but they had been consulted to get help.
In addition, freelancers who are not covered by the Labor Standards Law have been consulting about bus guides, which have been canceled one after another and have no guarantee of wages.
"The government has put in place support measures, but it has not been able to cover all workers. If the effects are prolonged, employment may be affected. I want you to take measures. "
Consultation on "no mask wearing" and "fire if infected"
As consultations other than leave allowances, 27 cases related to the use of masks, such as the fact that drug store clerks are prohibited from wearing masks while contacting customers who are feverish There were 11 cases of bullying and harassment, such as saying "I'm fired" or "Don't approach my colleague with a Chinese family."
