Marriott announced that it would furlough two-thirds of its workforce due to economic pressures from the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The current plan is for the furlough to begin in April, with the hope to bring the employees back on board as the pandemic threat fades and global travel resumes again, but that is not guaranteed.
The furlough will include two-thirds of the 4,000 employees at Marriott’s headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland and two-thirds of the 174,000 employees around the world, according to a
report by Fox News.
The furloughed employees will be paid only 20 percent of their regular salary, and even non-furloughed employees are facing significantly reduced pay and work hours.
