CVS Health is paying bonuses to hourly workers and hiring an additional 50,000 roles amid the coronavirus pandemic. Business Insider reports the bonuses will range from $150 to $500. On Monday the company said they will be given to pharmacists, store associates, managers, and other hourly workers. Part-time employees will get 24 hours of sick leave. That bonus is in addition to 14-day paid leave for anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 or is quarantined after potential exposure. These additional benefits and hirings came shortly after employees launched a petition calling for better support during the CoronaVirus pandemic.
