'With no clear indication of when we can restart our businesses, we're forced to make the difficult decision to take the next step and furlough employees whose jobs aren’t necessary at this time,' the company said in a statement.
amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Walt Disney Company announced it would furlough workers starting April 19.
Disney said in a statement Thursday that employees will be paid through April 18. The workers have received full pay and benefits since"mandatory decrees from government officials have shut down a majority" of the company's businesses, which include the Florida and California theme parks. "However, with no clear indication of when we can restart our businesses, we’re forced to make the difficult decision to take the next step and furlough employees whose jobs aren’t necessary at this time," the company said in its statement.
The impacted workers, who will remain company employees through the furloughs, will receive full healthcare benefits, Disney said, adding it would pay the cost of both the employee and company premiums.
