AT&T said it will pay a 20% bonus above the regular hourly
base rate for its front-line union employees amid the Covid-19
pandemic.
The company said Thursday it is offering excused time off up to
a total of 160 hours for employees who have tested positive for
Covid-19 and remain quarantined; employees who are at higher risk
due to an underlying health condition; parents or guardians of
children whose schools or daycares have closed and another
childcare option isn't yet available; and primary caregivers for a
family member diagnosed with Covid-19 who is unable to provide
self-care.
AT&T also said all home internet wireless customers, as well
as fixed wireless internet, can use unlimited internet data.
AT&T has expanded its Access from AT&T initiative to the
National School Lunch Program and Head Start. New Access from
AT&T customers will receive two months of free service.
The company said that for a limited time, it is waiving late
fees upon request for consumer and small business wireless, home
phone, and broadband customers experiencing hardships because of
Covid-19 and overage fees for those customers who have shared data
wireless plans.
