Furloughed employees won't be paid their salaries during their time away from the company, but they will receive health care benefits.
Marriott International is poised to place tens of thousands of employees on furlough as the hotel giant reels from the coronavirus outbreak.
The travel industry is grappling with a tidal wave of cancellations as Americans heed public warnings to stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19. "As travel restrictions and social distancing efforts around the world become more widespread, we are experiencing significant drops in demand at properties globally with an uncertain duration," Marriott said in a statement."We are adjusting global operations accordingly, which has meant either reduction in hours or a temporary leave for many of our associates at our properties.
Marriott, which had about 174,000 employees globally at the end of 2019, said the furloughs will affect all types of workers. They won't be paid their salaries during their time away from the company, but they will receive health care benefits. The company hopes to bring the workers back onto its payroll as soon as practicable when the pandemic subsides.
