Fast-food chain latest to offer concessions as virus outbreak worsens. FMTNews McDonald Compensation
NEW YORK: McDonald’s Corp said it will offer employees of corporate-owned US restaurants two weeks of pay in the event of a quarantine, making the fast-food chain the latest company to offer concessions as the coronavirus outbreak worsens.
These locations, however, account for about 5% of total US locations, with the rest being franchised, according to a recent filing.“As we pro-actively monitor the impact of the coronavirus, we are continuously evaluating our policies to provide flexibility and reasonable accommodations,” McDonald’s said in an e-mailed statement.
Coronavirus cases are surging in the US and abroad, and health officials and government authorities are urging workers to stay home from work if they are sick. Earlier on Tuesday, McDonald’s employees, a union of restaurant workers and the Fight for US$15 advocacy group called on McDonald’s to provide paid sick leave to “all workers who wear the McDonald’s uniform.”
