Microsoft is giving employees the option to work remotely through October after revising its WFH policy this week.
“On May 4th we confirmed that when restrictions lift, working from home will remain optional through October unless employees are in an essential role or local authorities mandate otherwise,” a Microsoft spokesperson said.
In early March, the tech giant was one of the first Seattle-area companies to tell employees that they could work remotely due to the coronavirus outbreak. Microsoft employs nearly 54,000 people in the Seattle region, most of them at its headquarters in Redmond, Wash., in addition to thousands more at offices across the world.
Fellow Seattle tech giant Amazon last week gave employees similar guidance, offering workers the option to do their jobs from home until at least early October, extending its remote work guidance by several months.
