拒絕接種新冠疫苗下的薪資續付【全球瞭望】 試閱
Continued Payment of Wages in case of Corona Infection after Refusal of Vaccination
新冠疫情在法律上為所有當事人帶來許多新興的挑戰。在可以接種疫苗且開始對全民施打疫苗之後,出現了一個實際的問題。迄今已然明確的是,根據德國勞工於假日暨罹病之薪資給付法(Gesetz überdie Zahlung des Arbeitsentgelts an Feiertagen und imKrankheitsfall, EfZG)第3條第1項,勞動雇主應因新冠肺炎而喪失勞動能力之勞工續付薪資。在此之例外僅當勞工於高風險地區之自願旅遊而遭確診(例如公務員法,參見Bretschneider/Peter, NVwZ, 2020, 1462)。伴隨著接種疫苗以對抗新冠肺炎之可能性,未來會有的問題是:在什麼樣的程度上,雖有可能接種疫苗卻基於勞工自身之故而無法實施,因新冠肺炎所生之不能勞動可歸責於勞工本身,以及因此根據勞工於假日暨罹病之薪資給付法第3條第1項第1句得以排除薪資續付之請求權。
The Corona pandemic always poses new challenges, also legally, for all those affected. A current question arises now that vaccine are available and the vaccination of the population has begun. Until now, it was clear that an employee was entitled to continued payment of remuneration according to paragraph 3 section 1 of the Act on the Payment of Remuneration on Public Holidays and in the Event of Sickness (Gesetz über die Zahlung des Arbeitsentgelts an Feiertagen und im Krankheitsfall, EfZG) in the event of Corona-related incapacity to work. Exceptions were ultimately only seen here if the employee had become infected during a voluntary trip to a risk area. With the possibility of a vaccination against a corona disease, however, the question arises in the future as to what extent a corona-related incapacity to work is the fault of the employee in the case of a possible but not implemented vaccination on the part of the employee and would thus exclude the entitlement to continued payment of remuneration pursuant to paragraph 3 section 1 of EfZG.
