Mr. Chen (pseudonym), a staff member of the VIP room at the Central Asia Airport, said that a notice was received at the end of March that the company implemented a three-month period of unpaid leave from April to June. Only a small number of front-line employees can still be on duty, but a 40% discount Pay.

The notice from the staff of Huanya mentioned that with the complete closure of the border, cancellation of flights and the spread of the epidemic worldwide, airport passenger traffic has fallen rapidly. In order to ensure that the group continues to operate, it is necessary to implement a three-month unpaid leave arrangement; if the employee is assigned to be on duty, only 60% of the salary will be paid. The notice also stated that the duty time is at the discretion of the management, and the company will review and adjust at the appropriate time, and expect employees to understand and support the measures to overcome the difficulties.

However, due to the impact of the epidemic, only one is currently open. Mr. Chen said that about 85% of front-line employees are required to take unpaid leave, and it is estimated that more than 400 employees, including waiters and cleaners, are involved at any time. He also pointed out that before the announcement of 3 months of unpaid leave, the company had required employees to take 6 days of unpaid leave from March to May at the end of February, and canceled a monthly meal and transportation allowance of about 1,000 yuan. .

Mr. Chen admitted that during the epidemic, working at the airport also worried about health issues. He would inadvertently contact the carriers who returned from overseas at any time, describing the "return to life"; and the company failed to provide sufficient protective equipment, and the masks distributed were as thin as Translucent.

However, he bluntly said that even if there are risks, he still hopes to continue to work. He thinks that there are many three months of unpaid leave. "There are some expenses that must be used. There must be a way to solve them, so you can't be alone." He revealed that some employees who had not passed the probation period were dismissed; he also considered finding another part-time job to cover the expenses.

A spokesperson for the Huanya Airport Service Management Group responded that the passenger traffic in the VIP room business is proportional to the passenger traffic in the airport, which was also greatly affected in the epidemic. The spokesman said that different methods have been adopted to reduce the impact, but costs must be controlled, so many frontline employees need to take unpaid leave, emphasizing that it is the "most difficult decision." The spokesman also pointed out that there is no intention to dismiss employees, and hopes to retain employees as soon as possible after the situation improves and can arrange for resumption of work as soon as possible. Three months of unpaid leave is the worst plan.

According to the information, the passenger traffic and the number of aircraft takeoffs and landings at the airport in February this year were 1.9 million and 18,005, respectively, a year-on-year decrease of 68.0% and 44.5%.
