Facebook extends coronavirus work from home policy until July 2021
Facebook has joined Google in saying it will allow employees to work from home until the middle of next year as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Based on guidance from health and government experts, as well as decisions drawn from our internal discussions about these matters, we are allowing employees to continue voluntarily working from home until July 2021,” a spokeswoman said.
Facebook also said it will provide employees with an additional $1,000 to spend on “home office needs.”
Late last month Google also extended its coronavirus remote work provision, saying staff would be able to continue working from home until the end of June 2021.
I was speaking this morning to someone who has a relative who works for one of these companies. She pointed out that these long extensions give the employees the ability to make decision like signing a year-long lease, thus minimizing some of the stress that the employees are under during this high-stress time for all of us.
