In wartime, an employer may impose a downtime through no fault of the employees in the following cases:
- Ensuring safety: If continuation of work may endanger the health or life of employees due to hostilities or other extreme conditions.
- Technical or organizational problems: Due to the destruction of production facilities or infrastructure, inability to supply raw materials, or lack of electricity.
- Legislative restrictions: If the state has introduced special business conditions that restrict or prohibit a certain type of activity.
It is important that during the downtime, employees must be paid at least two-thirds of their earnings in accordance with the terms of their employment contract.
