San Francisco: Amazon said Wednesday that its paid leave has been extended if one of its employees is found infected with the Corona virus or Covid-19.
The world’s leading online retailer reported that it has set up an $ 25 million Amazon Relief Fund, which will help unorganized sector employees affected by the epidemic. The company said, “All Amazon employees affected by Covid-19 or placed under inspection will be given two weeks of paid leave.”
The company has said that this has been done so that employees take full care of their health without worrying about salary. The company said that Amazon’s partners and temporary workers can apply for help from the Relief Fund, which will be for two weeks. Amazon has eight million full-time employees worldwide. The company reported last week that one of its employees had been confirmed to be infected with the corona virus.
