In light of the Covid-19 crisis, McDonald’s has introduced new precautionary measures to reinforce safety.
One of these steps involves asking all employees a series of
questions before they start their shift. These have been specifically devised
to ensure that workers are completely healthy. Thanks to the responses, the
firm will be able to identify if they have had potential exposure to Covid-19.
If it is found out that an employee has been in contact with someone having the
coronavirus or if he/she shows any symptoms, he/she will be sent back home and will
be able to start working again only after having received authorisation from a
medical expert.
The fast-food company’s US president Joe Erlinger advanced,
“Implementing these extra precautionary
measures is another way employees can feel good about where they work and
customers can trust their favourite McDonald’s menu items are being prepared by
healthy crew members”. Apart from this, McDonald’s has also closed most of its
dine-in sections and play areas and has adopted social distancing
guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus.
Moreover, employees who are tested positive and are working
at company-owned restaurants are being given a two-week paid leave by McDonald’s.
Workers at franchised outlets will receive emergency paid leave if they become
infected.
