Finland has authorized employees to stop working during air raid alerts while retaining their wages. Employers will pay for the missed time, and the government promises compensation to businesses.

The Finnish government has developed recommendations for employers and employees in case of air raid alerts. Citizens may now refrain from going to work in the event of danger, though this does not apply to critical enterprises, reports UNN.

Details

Employers are also obliged to pay compensation equivalent to the value of the missed workday due to an aerial threat.

"Fortunately, emergencies happen quite rarely. However, when they do occur, there must be clear procedures for action at workplaces. It is particularly important to me that employees are paid their wages in such situations. No one should have to compromise their personal safety due to uncertainty over whether they will receive their salary,"

- said Finland's Minister of Employment, Matias Marttinen.

At the same time, according to government officials, if drone threats become more frequent and lead to significant costs for businesses, the authorities will consider mechanisms for "compensating employers for such costs."

As a reminder

Russia has begun construction of its first completely new military base near Finland's eastern border. According to expert estimates, between 4,000 and 6,000 Russian troops will be stationed near Petrozavodsk.
