Embraer had announced on the 22nd that it would grant paid leave to employees at its units in Brazil who could not perform their activities remotely.

Workers in essential areas who can perform their activities remotely will remain on a home office regime. Meanwhile, employees not in these areas will enter collective vacations today (01) until April 9 and will resume activities on the 13th of this month. The total number of workers on collective vacations has not been disclosed.

“At-risk employees will not access company premises as they will be on collective vacations or working from home,” the statement said.

Additionally, the company decided to resume operations in critical areas in Brazil, such as maintenance and aircraft manufacturing, which had been suspended for a week in an effort to contain the spread of the pandemic. “Many of whom will transport supplies or health workers providing care to those infected with the disease.”

The aircraft manufacturer has also formed a group of employees to contribute to the greater availability of equipment and solutions for combating the pandemic in the country, such as the manufacture of parts for the ventilator and respirator industry.

Care for Employees Amid the Pandemic

During the temporary shutdown period of the units, the company reports that cleaning work at the factories, as well as adjustments to cafeterias and work areas to ensure minimum distancing between employees, have been intensified.

“The measures taken follow the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and seek to ensure that employees perform their duties with protection and with the support of the company’s health and safety teams,” it informed.
