Darden Restaurants announces paid sick leave for hourly workers

Darden Restaurants Inc., the operator of Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse and other restaurants, announced Monday that the company is providing paid sick leave to all hourly workers who are not currently covered by a policy. The announcement comes as coronavirus cases surge in the U.S. and abroad... Darden’s change in policy was already under consideration, but the outbreak sped up the process, spokesperson Rich Jeffers told Bloomberg.
