Do I need to be paid if work is stopped due to weather?

Wages will be paid if work is stopped due to weather conditions.

According to relevant legal provisions, before severe weather is forecast, the employer may arrange for work to be suspended except for staff in essential positions. However, during the period of employee suspension, their wages and benefits will not be affected. When signing a labor contract with an employee, the employer shall make an agreement on work arrangements and other matters when meteorological disasters such as typhoons and heavy rains occur.

If the unit suspends work or production within a wage payment cycle that is not caused by the employee, the employer shall pay the employee wages according to the standards stipulated in the labor contract. If the labor payment period exceeds one wage payment cycle, if the laborer provides normal labor, the labor remuneration paid to the laborer shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard.

After reading the above, we can know that employees must be paid during the period of suspension of work or production due to weather conditions and holidays.
