According to the instructions of the Home Front Command, my workplace is open, my educational institution is closed - can I work from home?

✅ According to the instructions of the Home Front Command, my workplace is open, my educational institution is closed - can I work from home?

The employer has the right to allow remote work. If this is not possible due to circumstances, notify the employer and agree on a schedule.

✅ My workplace is open, but I'm afraid to go to work - am I entitled to a salary?

An employer is not required to pay an employee who fails to show up without a legal reason. He has the right to demand attendance unless the Logistics Command prohibits otherwise. However, the parties can agree on paid absence or the use of vacation days.

✅ Are you required to come to work if there is no protected space there?

The instructions of the Home Front Command must be followed everywhere, and dismissal for compliance is prohibited. The answer depends on the specific guidelines at that time and place. If there are no restrictions on the operation of the enterprise and the employee is absent not to look after a child, the absence is the responsibility of the employee (without prejudice to the usual rights to vacation, sick leave, etc.).

✅ My workplace can work, but the employer decided not to open it for his own reasons - what should the employer do?

The employer must agree with the employees on the absence procedure, in particular:

✓ send on vacation for up to 7 days without prior notice

✓ for a vacation of more than 7 days - notify two weeks in advance

✓ you cannot enter a negative vacation balance without the employee’s explicit consent

✓ leave without pay - only with the explicit consent of the employee

✓ transition to part-time or flexible employment - only with the consent of the employee

A unilateral change in conditions without consent may be regarded as a significant deterioration in working conditions. If the employer is still considering dismissal, it is necessary to carry out the proper procedure. An employee who does not agree to leave without pay or a negative leave balance can claim wages through the labor court for those days when he was available to work, but the company was closed.
