Amazon announced Friday it is shortening their COVID paid leave time for United States employees following the updated guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It will cut isolation time from 10 to seven days, providing for a total of up to 40 hours of paid leave.
The policy change is effective immediately and applies to all its U.S. employees regardless of vaccination status. Amazon says the decrease in the paid leave corresponds to the newly shortened isolation period recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All employees must report a positive diagnosis and the company says additional leave options are available for those who are still sick after one week.
The new guidance from the CDC says those with COVID-19 can isolate for five days if they have no symptoms.
