愛爾蘭 Covid-19 僱員僱主福利須知 COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Information for Employers and Employees
就業事務和社會保護部正在採取措施，為受COVID-19（冠狀病毒）影響的人提供收入支持。
有3個主要更改：
- 當前的Illness Benefit疾病福利等待期為6天，不適用於患有COVID-19（冠狀病毒）或有醫療要求的自我隔離人士
- 個人Illness Benefit疾病福利將從每週203歐元增加到每週305歐元，最多2周 (根據醫療要求進行自我隔離，或者在確定診斷為COVID-19（冠狀病毒）後完全不工作)
- 疾病福利的正常社會保險要求將被更改，或者Supplementary Welfare Allowance 補充福利津貼的經濟審查將被取消
政府現在敦促所有雇主支持國家公共衛生目標，繼續向因Covid-19或自我隔離而無法參加工作的僱員支付己提高的 Illness Benefit疾病福利與其正常工資之間的差額。雇主可考慮與僱員進行一系列靈活的工作安排來實現，例如：
- 恩恤假期
- 允許員工遠程工作
- 允許工作人員在以後的日子工作補回已取假期
- 允許員工利用年假權利
- 重新安排育兒假
The Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection are introducing measures to provide income support to people affected by COVID-19 (Coronavirus).
3 major changes have been announced:
- the current 6-day waiting period for Illness Benefit will not apply to anyone who has COVID-19 (Coronavirus) or is in medically-required self-isolation
- the personal rate of Illness Benefit will increase from €203 per week to €305 per week for a maximum of 2 weeks medically-required self-isolation or for the full duration of absence from work following a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
- the normal social insurance requirements for Illness Benefit will be changed or the means test for Supplementary Welfare Allowance will be removed
You can access public health advice about COVID-19 (Coronavirus) at the government’s information page.
See our quick guide If you are an employee or self-employed and feel you may have COVID-19, or may need to self-isolate as a result of COVID-19
Government has now urged all employers to support national public health objectives by continuing, as a minimum, to pay employees who cannot attend work due to Covid-19 illness or self-isolation the difference between the enhanced Illness Benefit rate and their normal wages.
This may be achieved through the employer considering a range of flexible working arrangements with their employees such as:
- compassionate leave
- allowing the employee to work remotely
- allowing the staff member to ‘work-up’ any time taken at a future date
- allowing the employee to avail of annual leave entitlements
- rearranging parental leave
A number of income supports are available from the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection for people whose employers do not continue to pay them during a COVID-19 (Coronavirus) related absence or temporary lay-off from work.
