Google is extending the contracts of temp workers whose jobs were about to end during the pandemic — starting with the hundreds that were due to leave this week
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesGoogle is extending the contracts of its temporary workers whose jobs were due to end during the coronavirus pandemic.
Google has more than 270,000 workers around the world, internal data shows — but roughly half of these are temporary workers, vendors, and contractors , without all the same perks and benefits as full-time employees. Temporary workers are a subset of these, and are typically brought on for a one-year fixed-length contract, which can be extended for a maximum of two years.
After Business Insider reached out to Google for comment, a spokesperson said that Google has decided to extend the assignments of all temporary workers with contracts that end between March 20 and May 15 if they are legally able to, for an additional 60 days.
