Slovakia will have legislation on permanent kurzarbeit (short-time work). This follows from the draft law on support during short-time work tabled by the Labour Ministry, which the government approved on Wednesday and sent to Parliament for further discussion. The essence of this instrument should be the provision of legally claimable support which will be clearly intended for the payment of compensation for employees' salary at a time when the employer cannot assign work to employees to the originally agreed extent and the short-time work occurs," the ministry said in the submission report.
