Answer 1

World is facing a pandemic at this time. As part of it many schools and colleges has been shut down. In an institution where an individual was teaching for hourly rate, these closed days are considered as non payment days. But the teacher did not ask for any leave. The circumstances lead to non taeching hours. But institution has no liability to pay the taecher because he/she is not actually taeching. This is a conflict situation.

For a win - win strategy, teacher can offer online lessons for his or her students including online assignments and tests. That can save student's time in coming academic days where all has to struggle to meet academic schedules. As teacheris working even through a virtual platform, institution can pay them accordding to the job done. As students get benefited from this in terms of learning, instituion's goals are also met. This leads both teacher and institute to gain their goals. Thus this is a win win scenario.
