New regulations introduced to regulate minimum wage for port workers during coronavirus pandemic

On the 11th of May, the Ministry of Infrastructure published an ordinance that regulates the minimum wage payment for the port workers who are on leave due to the new coronavirus pandemic.

In April a law was put into effect that regulated wages for port workers during this pandemic. The workers will receive a monthly amount that corresponds to 50% of the average gross remuneration received between October 1, 2019, and March 31 of this year.

The amounts must be paid by the port operators or service borrowers who request the work of these professionals from the Manpower Management Agency (OGMO).  If this payment has an impact on the already signed lease agreements, economic-financial rebalancing will be available. The order must be made directly to the port administration. The National Waterway Transport Agency (Antaq) will be responsible for arbitrating any conflicts.
