Google sets up fund to offer paid sick leave to contractors & temp workers who can't work due to COVID-19 symptoms or quarantines

Google has set up a fund that will enable all contract and temporary workers globally to take paid sick leave should they need to due potential coronavirus symptoms or quarantines... "As we're in a transition period in the U.S.—and to cover any gaps elsewhere in the world—Google is establishing a COVID-19 fund that will enable all our temporary staff and vendors, globally, to take paid sick leave if they have potential symptoms of COVID-19, or can't come into work because they're quarantined," the post read.

... Google relies on approximately 120,000 temps and contractors on top of its 100,000 full-time employees, and not all of them have paid sick leave currently. Google's post seemed to indicate that the fund would cover expenses for those not already able to take sick leave under current employment arrangements.Following Microsoft's lead, Google announced last week that it would continue to pay hourly staff whose hours may be affected by remote work policies.
