work stoppage conditions in confinement

It started with the closing of schools in some departments. Parents who had to stay to look after their children were able to arrange working time.

Partial unemployment possibilities: employers must apply

The situation is now widespread. Indeed, the government has announced the establishment of partial unemployment measures, which make it possible to reduce the working time of employees or to close the premises of a company temporarily, while ensuring that they pay a minimum wage.
To set up partial unemployment, companies must submit a file to the Ministry of Labor. It is therefore not the employee who can decide on this measure. People who have the ability to telecommute cannot benefit from it. Unfortunately, the self-employed cannot benefit from it either, since they are not employees.
Finally, what about people employed at home? Indeed, confinement also concerns people who do housework with private individuals, who look after children. Minister of Labor Muriel Pénicaud was reassuring on this point: "We are going to set up a similar system to partial unemployment. Childminders and homeworkers will be entitled to a similar system to partial unemployment", announced the Minister of Labor. "if a cleaning lady can no longer insure her contract, she will receive 80% of her salary without going to work," she said. The sums will be advanced by the employer who will be reimbursed in full via the Universal Service Employment Check.
