The COVID-19 emergency directly impacts on employment
relationships both from a health & safety perspective, and
regarding general management of relationships (i.e. salary
obligations, effects of Government orders, co-determination rights
for measures adopted).
Health & Safety
The employer, with the support of any other medical/technical
expert provided by local law, must (i) inform the employees about
the situation and (ii) adopt and keep a policy updated, providing
all the measures & best practices aimed at excluding and
reducing the risk of contagion as much as possible. These measures
may include:
- Hygiene rules at the workplace;
- Safety distance among employees in
the office;
