Escolas encerradas: pais podem faltar ao trabalho? E perdem salário?

Workers staying home to care for children due to school closures have justified absences and retain their salary. The government declared a state of alert, closing schools and non-essential public services. Legal experts confirm that the closure justifies absence under labor law, ensuring workers are paid. Employees should formally notify their employers and provide proof of school closure. Teleworking is encouraged, but justification for absence may vary based on the child's age. If telework is not possible, workers must inform their employer and cannot both take leave for the same reason.
