Home Depot Closing Early, Offering Workers Additional Time Off
Home Depot (NYSE: HD) has shortened its store hours and improved its paid time off (PTO) benefit for its workers as the chain continues to adapt its operations to deal with the coronavirus pandemic. The retailer has kept its doors open while many others have closed since it sells essential items people need to get through an extended period of semi-quarantine.
The home improvement chain has decided to close its stores at 6 p.m. The move allows the retailer to keep its shelves stocked and its stores clean, efforts the company detailed in a press release.
As part of our normal practice, our stores and other facilities are cleaned and sanitized daily. Following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), we've increased the frequency of cleaning and general hygiene maintenance in stores and other locations. We've also stepped up our efforts to disinfect high-traffic and high-touch areas like self-checkout, door handles, and bathrooms.
