“Companies that have reached to the autumn of no utilization of 50 percent, you need to ask whether short-time work is Right for you.” You should then adjust better, “personnel booths”, so jobs.
A Shutdown, such as in March of the AMS-in-chief holds a maximum at the regional level is likely. Businesses and employees that would be affected, could you then – instead of short-time work – about the epidemic act to fully compensate.
