تدبير العطلة الاستثنائية مدفوعة الأجر في ظل جائحة فيروس كورونا و الإشكالات المترتبة عليه

Abstract EN

The exceptional paid holiday stated under rule 06 of the executive decree No.

20/69 was a protective measure to reduce direct contact among citizens in public places and at work.

Hence, this is the state`s plan which aims at respecting social distancing to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The above mentioned preventive measure led to a number of legal complexities related generally to salaries, productivity, and annual holidays, while priority is given to certain workers and employees to benefit from the exceptional holiday.

This issue required the interference of the state for the purpose of keeping jobs and protecting employees from collective discharge on the one hand, and ensuring minimum service and public utility continuity.

All of this is accompanied with commitment of the state to substitute the expected damages due to this preventive measure.
