Compensation\nfor loss due to childcare <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many employees\nhad to interrupt their work because the care of their children under the age of\n12 was no longer guaranteed, and yet they continued to receive their wages.\nEmployers are entitled to compensation for the loss of work suffered if they\ncontinued to pay the employees\u2019 wages. However, this claim does not exist if\nthe work can also be performed by the employee via home office. There is also\nno entitlement during school holidays, because the schools would not have\noffered childcare during this time anyway. If, however, care was planned during\nthe holidays which is not available due to the corona virus, the entitlement\ncontinues to exist. This is the case, for example, if the grandparents cannot\nprovide their childcare services because they are part of the risk group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commencement\nand scope of the claim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entitlement\nto compensation for loss of working hours due to childcare begins on the fourth\nday on which all the conditions are met. This means on 19 March 2020 at the\nearliest, because the schools have only been closed since 16 March 2020. The claim\nends when the measures to combat the coronavirus are lifted or if care is found\nfor the children. The compensation amounts to 80 percent of the gross income of\nthe employee concerned before his or her loss of employment, but not more than\nCHF 196 per day. The employer of each parent is entitled to the compensation if\nthe conditions are met. However, the compensation is paid only once, because\none parent alone can manage the care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compensation\nfor employees in quarantine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nemployer is also entitled to compensation for employees who are in quarantine\nand therefore cannot perform their work, provided that their wages were paid.\nAgain, the claim does not exist if the work can be done via home office.\nEmployers are also not entitled to compensation if they are already receiving\nsickness benefits from their insurance companies. The entitlement begins on the\nday on which all the conditions are met, but not before 17 March 2020. It ends\nwhen the quarantine is lifted or when 10 daily allowances have been paid. The\ncompensation amounts as well to 80 percent of the gross earned income, but no\nmore than CHF 196 per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
