Well, if you are unable to make your commute or you are in a high risk group, that is when you start “wanting” your 19h. There would have to be a pretty good reason for it, otherwise if you have any seniority on reserve, you can essentially be on a 75h leave instead of 19h.
This 25% of pay deal has been offered pretty much to all employees, probably just to bridge the gap till Oct 1 when they can start furloughing.
