COVID-19 Hazard pay due to Corona Virus

[Jaxtone]

How true we get $2 increase hazard pay due to Corona Virus?

 

[Cinnamon2005]

I haven't heard anything about this & our SD & ETL'S have been pretty good about sharing information with the team.

 

[NightHuntress]

I’ve heard Walmart is supposed to be doing that but not Target. Yet- anyway

Serious, yes. But also a little funny.

This is probably posted else where but I can't be assed to find it.
Spot is paying folks who are in quarantine or have been confirmed with COVID-19.
Also childcare?

Target is offering up to 14 days of paid time off for workers in quarantine and those confirmed with coronavirus - https://www.businessinsider.com/target-coronavirus-policy-14-days-paid-leave-2020-3?fbclid=IwAR2ocbUSMOupBn7JTuyS_M1u4aMJZrsMAZj4l59iCMdIRoi2UplDhnnZzLM

No hazard pay as far as I know

 

[Times Up]

Amazon is offering 2 bucks more an hour.

Zero chance of this happening. In fact, (((Cornell))) will use this crisis as an excuse to cancel the $15 hr. starting wage that supposedly was going into effect at the end of the year.

Re childcare: Our HR expert said they have a program that's waiving all fees and works with a center in town but I'm not sure if that's store specific or company wide.

It’s Bright Horizons and it’s available to everyone at Target. Not only for child care but they’ll also do in home elderly care if anyone has parents that need assistance too.

bro same im tryna cop that 2 week pay

 

[SuckMyDuckMFer]

Fuck a $2 increase. That is the bump to $15. I want time and a half. If we all strike during the pandemic, they can't say no.

Don’t for a minute kid yourself into thinking we aren’t all replaceable.

 

[Luck]

Don’t for a minute kid yourself into thinking we aren’t all replaceable.

Especially since hundreds of thousands of resturant workers just found themselves without jobs.

Even if you cant find a professional, they include a stipend of up to $100 per day to have a relative watch them for you. Pretty sweet deal. Target has really been taking care of issues well through this. In fact the biggest complaint I have heard about it is that now people dont have the excuse of not being able to find childcare to avoid working mandatory.

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

Honestly they should just bump us to $15 now and then leave it since it’s gonna be 15 by the end of the year anyways

 

[OK Then]

Don’t for a minute kid yourself into thinking we aren’t all replaceable.

Seriously. My HR is getting calls daily to see if we are hiring.

 

[Cinnamon2005]

There are a lot of restaurants laying people off in my area. People are filing for unemployment & looking for jobs.

 

[redeye58]

This.
We have several TMs who work a second job at a nearby restaurant that has closed except for carry-out orders & they're picking up shifts from the folks who are staying at home with the kids.

 

[commiecorvus]

The credit union my daughter is working for is paying all their employees $5.00 an hour extra for working during this.
They aren't doing any new hires and many of the staff are staying home so there is a pretty high stress level but I thought that was pretty cool.

Honestly, if Walmart really is paying people more, I wouldn't be surprised if Spot follows suit. It's already approaching April, when pay increases happen, anyway, so it wouldn't even involve much change there.

I wouldn't be surprised, though, if it's not just an early jump to $15, as @Amanda Cantwell said.
