My pick today? Wegmans!
Wegmans is a grocery chain originating from my home town in upstate New York. This past Sunday I went to Wegmans to stock up on essentials. As I walked through the store, I noticed small changes such as hand sanitizer stations always in reach and a check out experience that ensured social distancing throughout the end to end checkout process. These may sound minor, but they may have been the one thing that prevents my family from getting sick.
More Interesting --> it was SO clear they were equally protecting their workers, just as much as their customers. Check out some of these benefits they are currently offering to help their employees:
- Voluntary leave will not result in you losing your job.
- Increased pay for the employees who decide to come in and work in the face of a global pandemic.
- Quickly updated their disability pay policies so employees don't need to worry if they get #coronavirus
This info was found from Wegman's website: https://www.wegmans.com/news-media/press-releases/wegmans-response-to-covid-19-2/
I hope to see more of these large employers step up and begin offering similar benefits to their workers, regardless of the impact to business.

While thousands of jobs have been affected by the #Coronavirus pandemic... there are roles that are in desperate need of help!
Pharmacies, online retailers, teleworking companies and shipping centers need workers to help keep up with demand.

Comprehensive list of Florida state and federal information sites and resources that are available currently. Stay safe!

Over the last week or so, there have been a lot of changes in my day to day as a truck driver.
A lot of warehouses are asking that drivers do not go inside. Instead we do all of our paperwork and leave it posted on the door of the trailer, then we back it up to the loading dock. There has been less people involved in the hand off of documents, and a lot of things can be done over the phone now.
Many drop off locations have been giving out free hand sanitizer and wipes. It's nice knowing that people are taking care if us drivers!!

With the coronavirus pandemic ongoing, many people have found themselves without a job or enough income to pay for their needs.
So, how do you apply for unemployment?
According to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, you must have the following information before you can file:
Social Security number Driver’s license or state ID number Your employment for the last 18 months, including for each employer: Name, address and phone number First and last day of work Gross earnings (before taxes are taken out) during the listed dates The reason for separation FEIN (this is found on any W2 or 1099 tax forms you have received) If you don’t have the FEIN, you can use employer details off of a recent pay stub Claims filed without correctly reporting employers may experience delays. It is important to list the correct employment information when filing your claim. If you fail to do so, your benefits may be delayed while the missing employment information is obtained. The United States Department of Labor says anyone who meets the following criteria is eligible:
An employer temporarily ceases operations due to COVID-19, preventing employees from coming to work. An individual is quarantined with the expectation of returning to work after the quarantine is over; and An individual leaves employment due to a risk of exposure or infection or to care for a family member.
