How much notice is required for transferring employees to different work due to Covid-19?
Based on Article 31 of the 2012 Labor Code stipulating the transfer of employees to other jobs different from the labor contract as follows:
- In case of unexpected difficulties due to natural disasters, fires, epidemics, applying measures to prevent, overcome labor accidents, occupational diseases, electrical, water incidents, or due to production and business needs, the employer is entitled to temporarily transfer the employee to other jobs different from the labor contract, but not exceeding 60 cumulative working days in a year, except in cases where the employee agrees.
- When temporarily transferring the employee to other jobs different from the labor contract, the employer must notify the employee at least 03 working days in advance, clearly stating the temporary period and arranging suitable work according to the health and gender of the employee.
=> Therefore, in case of difficulties due to an epidemic, the company has the right to transfer employees to other jobs different from the contract but must notify the employee at least 03 working days in advance.
The above is the supportive content.
Sincerely!
