| Abstract/Citation: | Under this law, the government has now regarded Covid-19 as a ‘National Disaster'. This may be used under Law No. 13/2003 concerning Manpower to justify the dismissal of workers if COVID is deemed to be a "Force Majeure". Employers who choose to dismiss workers will be required to pay their employees a 1-time severance pay, 1-time long service reward and 1-time compensation money (Law No. 13/2003 section 164(1)). |
