Quarantine Leave: What am I entitled to?
Employers are entitled to a one-off lump sum of EUR 350 if they have or had a member of their staff (including themselves) on mandatory quarantine leave.
The scheme also applies for members of staff who had to quarantine themselves due to possible contact with individuals that were at risk of infection.
