McDonald’s to Provide Paid Time Off During Coronavirus Pandemic | Eater
"Under pressure from worker advocates demanding paid sick leave for anyone who wears the company uniform—including coverage during quarantine, payment for COVID-19 testing, and time off for parents with virus-related child emergencies—the corporation said employee and customer health is its highest priority and that it is continuously evaluating policies to provide flexibility and accommodations. It announced up to 14 days of paid sick leave for quarantined employees at corporate-owned stores, while noting that franchised locations operate as independent businesses and may set their own benefits, a distinction advocates say leaves many workers without blanket protections." - Jaya Saxena
