Continued payment of wages in the event of fire by third parties
Questioner
There was a fire in the building next to which I work. As a result, my employer must close for at least 6 weeks due to water damage and fire damage. My question is: Am I entitled to continued payment of my salary? I have been employed for 9 months and work an average of 12 hours per week (48 hours per month). In my contract, Article 7 Right of Recourse states: 'The employee transfers all rights of recourse against third parties to the employer in the event that the employee is unable to perform his duties due to the fault or possible fault of third parties' If I am entitled to continued payment for how many hours and how should I discuss this with the employer?

In principle, this is a risk for your employer, which means that if your employer cannot put you to work, he must continue to pay you. This can only be different if there is a 0-hour contract or an on-call contract. The duration of your employment and the agreements in your contract must then be examined to determine whether and, if so, how much your employer must pay you. I cannot therefore give a clear answer, I need more information for that. You can always contact me.Neem de volgende stap
