To prevent job losses during the pandemic, the Government has introduced a new measure to support employees and employers who are forced to stop working due to COVID-19 infection of some employees.

Thus, the technical unemployment benefit will also be granted to employees who are obliged to stay at home due to the suspension of the company’s activity, following the epidemiological investigations, except for those on medical leave (indemnities of 75% of the salary, but not exceeding 75% of the medium gross salary, are payable to the employers in order to help them keep their businesses open). The measure applies for the entire suspension period, but not later than 31 December 2020.
