Amazon and Walmart cut workers' paid vacation time to increase package delivery speed during the epidemic!

It is learned that according to foreign media reports, Amazon has recently cut the paid leave time of its employees (isolated people who tested positive for nucleic acid or had close contact with infected people).

Amazon said the move was based on the latest guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). As a result, Amazon has reduced the paid leave time for infected people from the original 14 days to now 7 days, or more than 40 hours.

In addition, Amazon stipulates that close contact employees only need to be quarantined for 5 days because it firmly believes that the omicron virus will not cause too serious infection.

It is understood that in addition to Amazon, Walmart has also cut the paid leave time for people infected with the new coronavirus, and now the time is half of the original regulations.

According to reports, the two retail giants took this move to better meet the shopping needs of American consumers during the epidemic, so as to greatly improve their logistics and transportation capabilities and deliver packages as soon as possible.
