More than a week after slamming into the East Coast, Hurricane Sandy is causing headaches in payroll. Companies largely excused worker absences immediately after the storm, which left millions without power and tens of thousands temporarily homeless. But as businesses around the region return to normal, managers are struggling with how much, and how long, to pay employees who cannot make it in to work.
PNC Financial Services Group closed several hundred bank branches when the storm hit Oct. 29, and by Monday had reopened all but 90 locations in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. All salaried and hourly employees were paid as usual while their branches were closed, said spokesman Fred Solomon, adding that more than 10,000 workers living in storm-ravaged areas on the Eastern Seaboard were given an additional five paid days off to use as needed.
However, hourly workers who cannot make it in to open branches after using their five days will then have to take vacation or personal days, or they won’t get paid. The bank said it would also dock pay for salaried employees who don’t show up or don’t arrange with their supervisors to work remotely.
About 23,000 workers had some unplanned time off when Starbucks Corp. closed nearly 1,000 stores along the East Coast when Sandy hit, said Adrienne Gemperle, a company vice president. The coffee chain paid all affected workers for their scheduled hours during the store closures, Ms. Gemperle said.
By now, about 95% of Starbucks stores have reopened. With the remaining locations, the company will compensate affected workers for up to 30 days, a spokeswoman said. Christine Edwards, a manager at a midtown Manhattan Starbucks, said that though her store was closed for three days last week, she and her 13 co-workers—both hourly and salaried employees—were paid in full. When she told staffers they would be paid for that time, "They were overjoyed," said Ms. Edwards, who lives in the hard-hit Rockaways neighborhood of Queens.
If a workplace closes due to a storm or other natural disaster, federal law says salaried workers must still be paid, although the days off may be counted against vacation days. If a business remains open but a salaried employee isn’t able to work, even from home, managers may deduct pay for days off or count them as vacation or personal time.
Some compensation experts say that no matter the law, companies should pay staffers to maintain morale and loyalty. Workers, especially those struggling to secure basic needs, will be grateful for continued support, said Melissa Quade, a manager of professional services at PayScale, a research firm specializing in compensation.
According to Adrienne Gemperle, ______.
选项
A、Starbucks Corp. closed most of its stores when Sandy hit
B、it was a great burden for Starbucks Corp. to pay affected workers
C、three paid days were enough for all of its affected workers
D、all affected workers had got a proper pay during the store closures
答案
D
解析
细节题。第四段末句提及The coffee chain paid all affected workers for their scheduled hours during thestore closures,Ms.Gemperle said.[D]是对原文的同义转述,故为答案。由第四段首句中StarbucksCorp.closed nearly 1,000 stores along the East Coast.排除[A];第四段末句提到,咖啡连锁店为所有受影响的员工支付了闭店期间的工资,但并未提及这一举动对星巴克来说是一个很大的负担,也未提及工资支付的天数限制,故排除[B]和[C]。
