How to declare the quarantine:

When the start and end dates of a quarantine period fall within two consecutive months, a single claim must be submitted for the entire quarantine period (do not split months), and salary data for the month of commencement of quarantine must be reported.

In addition, the application must be filed after the 16th of the month, during the month following the end of the quarantine. This is to allow the payment of quarantine costs for an employee and their registration on the pay slip.

For example: If the employee was quarantined from 27.10.21 to 5.11.21, the claim must be submitted for the entire period after 16.12.21, according to January salary statements.

Who can submit a claim?

For how many employees can I submit a payment claim?

You can submit a claim for any employee who spent a quarantine, as long as you have not exceeded the number of employees registered with the company during the month of the quarantine.

The claimant will be able to submit a file containing the employer's employee details, generated from the payroll system with which he or she works. The file will include all the employees for whom payment is requested, as well as the required data.

The file will be reviewed online (up to 100 employee records / declaration periods), and confirmation of the status of the claim will be given in the citizen's private area my.gov of the employer/representative.
