The development
Labour Directorate Legal Opinion No. 196/17 states that protective measures adopted during investigations into harassment or third-party violence must not impose burdens or cause detriment to the complainant.
If a measure changes the person's position, the employer must maintain at least the original remuneration, including variable pay, and pay any difference where appropriate.
Why it matters
Before changing shifts or duties as a protective measure, the economic effects should be assessed and the steps to preserve remuneration documented.
