Meanwhile, even in the Netherlands, not a moment goes by without talk of the coronavirus. The outbreak of this virus has a major impact on public health and the economy. The corona virus also has various consequences for labor law, about which we inform you in outline in our fact sheet.
These include your duty of care as an employer, whether you can request short-time work for your employees and in what situations you are obligated to continue paying the employee's wages.
Of course, we will continue to inform you about the labor and corporate law implications surrounding the corona virus.
