On October 29, 2021, the amendments to the Labor Code governing the regime of technical unemployment established as a result of the declaration of a state of emergency, siege, war or the establishment of restrictions in connection with the state of emergency in public health came into force.
In case of technical unemployment based on the respective reasons, the indemnity due to the employee may be paid from the state budget, as established by the Government, provided that the jobs occupied by the persons for whom these allowances have been paid will not be reduced for a period at least equal to the period of technical unemployment for which the benefits were paid.
Recommendation: If you intend to apply this measure, we recommend consulting the Regulation on the granting from the state budget of the indemnity for technical unemployment, established as a result of the declaration of a state of emergency, siege, war, or the establishment of restrictions in connection with the state of emergency in public health (link).
