Best Buy will furlough approximately 51,000 store employees beginning April 19, the retailer announced on Wednesday.
The temporary furlough includes almost all of Best Buy's part-time employees. The company will retain about 82 percent of its full-time store and field employees, according to a press release.
MORE FALLOUT: Emerging economic data reveals devastation, job losses grow
Furloughed employees will continue to receive health benefits at no cost for at least three months.
In addition, some corporate employees will participate in voluntary reduced workweeks and voluntary furloughs. CEO Corie Barry will forego 50 percent of her base salary and members of the Board of Directors will forego 50 percent of their cash retainer fees through at least Sept. 1.
Company executives reporting directly to the CEO will take a 20% reduction in base salary through at least Sept. 1.
"The situation remains very fluid and there is still a great deal of uncertainty, particularly as it relates to depth and duration of store closures and consumer confidence over time," Barry said in the release.
"We are taking the steps necessary to resume providing our customers in-home services in the near future, keeping in mind our overriding priority on the safety of our employees and customers. We are also preparing to re-open stores to customers as soon as it is safe to do so, with timing likely to vary at state and local levels."
If you lost your job or were furloughed because of the coronavirus, or if the company you work for is permanently or temporarily shut down because of it, you qualify for weekly unemployment payments from the state in which you worked.

一周一千，一月四千，这应该比很多人工作时给的还多了
拿的是不是还不用缴税啊？三个月后，还有人愿意回去上班吗？（工资低，交完税到手的更低）
估计所有的公司的payroll & HR部门的要累成狗🐶了，这adjustments好多，可也太忙了😅
应该没有这么多，我们这里也furlough了很多人，刚刚和同事研究过，加州应该是700多一个礼拜，不知道别的州~
这丑货的三角眼真丑啊，还有为了吸引眼球让老婆出卖被性侵的隐私 是个无耻之徒！
是失业金+联邦多加的600， 加起来就是1300多一个星期了.
还没有税，估计比平时挣得还多
真是羡慕嫉妒恨， 希望他们拿到钱不会到处浪， 真的呆在家好了。
好象是算收入，要交税的
加州失业金最高能拿$450一周，税金是$45。加上联邦$600（不上税），一共是一周$1005。本人是dental hygienist,现在正拿着
那也是明年的事了。
不知道啊， 上面的妹子说700多一个星期， 我只是按照她的说法。 本人这么多年都没有拿过失业， 哭唧唧。
我这也是第一次，哎，我的职业是high risk，3月15号就把我停了。说实在的，以我的性格，拿着救济金憋屈，我其实正规工资比这个高
特殊时期，没问题。。。
不要这样想啊， 这是你应该得的呀。 政府都给钱你们在家呆， 就当休息一下好了。
当然能啊。

我们诊所是希望5/1开门，然后看情况慢慢让hygienist上班，因为我们的工作是就是跟aerosols打交道
很无奈，但也的确没办法
其实就是center想收钱。老师可以拿unemployment，center租金还得照常交
哇，真是不错！
