If your office closes up temporarily without offering work from home, and your on a set salary as defined by your contract, do they still have to pay you said salary?
Or whats the legal ramifications here does anyone know?
Secondly how do they change of the government initiates a lockdown?
Not an expert but I'm guessing it'd depend on your country's labor code. I received a declaration containing this:
"As of 16.03.2020 your Employer is no longer able to assign you work in accordance with your employment agreement. Due to this fact, your Employer will have impediments on its side, in accordance with Section 208 of the Labor Code.
During this period of the Employer’s impediments and until the eventual cancellation of such impediments, you will not perform any work for the Employer, act as a representative of the Employer towards third parties or come to your workplace and the Employer will pay you a compensatory wage in the amount of your average earnings.
During the period of the impediments at work, we hereby ask you to stay at home or at any other place away from the premises of the Employer. "
I reside in the Czech Republic.
