The cyber attack on the automotive supplier Eberspächer in Esslingen leads to short-time work at the headquarters.
A company spokeswoman said on Wednesday that a supplementary collective agreement had been concluded with the IG Metall union.
The regulation enables 100 percent short-time work from now on.
Esslingen - The employees in Esslingen receive an increase in short-time allowance to 86.5 percent.
The spokeswoman could not say how many employees are affected.
First the "Wirtschaftswoche" reported about it.
The spokeswoman did not provide any information on the background of the cyber attack.
The Stuttgart public prosecutor's office is investigating suspected computer sabotage and attempted blackmail.
According to information from "Wirtschaftswoche" from IT security circles and the corporate environment, not only the computer systems in Esslingen are affected, but those of the IT auto supplier worldwide are largely paralyzed.
According to experts, both production and administration at the automotive supplier are currently at a standstill.
