Facebook will allow employees to work remotely until July 2021
Facebook will allow its employees to continue working from home for the next year, the company told CNBC on Thursday.
"Based on guidance from health and government experts, as well as decisions drawn from our internal discussions about these matters, we are allowing employees to continue voluntarily working from home until July 2021," a company spokesman told CNBC in a statement. The news was first reported by Business Insider.
The company will also provide its employees with an additional $1,000 bonus for their home office needs. The company provided employees with a similar bonus after shelter-in-place orders first went into effect earlier this year.
Although employees will be allowed to work from home, the company said it will continue to reopen offices in restricted capacities in regions where government guidance permits and where there has been virus mitigation for approximately two months. It's unlikely, however, that many Facebook offices will reopen in 2020, the spokesman said.
