Is absence due to adverse weather conditions paid?
Civil Protection has recorded several incidents due to adverse weather conditions, which are expected to continue. But is an absence from work due to bad weather considered justified and entitles to remuneration?
Until 10:00 p.m. on the 27th, 296 occurrences related to bad weather were counted. If you could not travel to your workplace due to extreme weather conditions, know that you can justify your absence.
According to DECO PROTeste, as read in Notícias ao Minuto, "when workers are prevented from attending work due to adverse weather phenomena, they can justify the absence". In addition, it clarifies that this absence "cannot result in loss of pay".
The Labor Code determines that absences motivated by reasons beyond the responsibility of the worker, such as floods that make public transportation inaccessible, must be accepted as justified by the employer.
