Me: "Fine, I'll WFH"

Employer: "NOOO NOT LIKE THAT! MY UNREALISED OFFICE REAL ESTATE GAINS!!!!11111one"

I mean duh... war is like THE excuse where all the rules break. They should of course still pay them, because its a dick move not to, but it makes sense that these exceptions exist.

This doesn't really sound that oniony.

"If an employee's loss of earnings resulting from official guidelines is to be compensated, it could be done with a separate daily allowance solution, for example," Rytkönen-Sandberg said.

The tldr (or at least how I've read it from the summarized non native language article) appears to be if a government warning results in lost work hours, a public program should be on the hook for compensating citizens for lost wages instead of the employer (the people saying this advocate specifically for small to medium businesses). That's not really very different from how some countries handle sick pay (the first few days might be covered by the company, but then a public institution takes over covering wages for absences longer than a couple days).
