Facebook pushes contractors to come into offices despite delaying return for US employees.
While U.S. Facebook employees have been spared risking their health in the wake of the Covid-19 delta wave until a return to office occurs in January 2022, Moran’s team of contractors has not. They’ve been back in Facebook’s offices since Aug. 2, and their in-person attendance is required until further notice.
“While the majority of full-time employees and contingent workers for Facebook continue working from home, some have returned to offices that have reopened at reduced capacities with strict health and safety standards in place,” the spokeswoman said in a statement. “A person’s status as a full-time employee or a contingent worker does not factor into whether or not they can work from home due to the global pandemic.
The contractors were given two weeks to prepare for the return. The workers would need to receive a note from a doctor excusing them from the office return or come back. The contractors were told that if they needed more time, they would need to dip into their 10 days of personal-time off or not get paid, Moran said.
In a statement, Accenture said the company prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of its employees through social distancing, enhanced office cleanings, mask requirements, regular Covid testing and individual transportation to and from the office.
