In a press release on Wednesday, the company said it will provide frontline hourly team members four hours of regular pay after they receive a completed COVID-19 vaccination. Salaried team members will also receive "additional store labor hours to accommodate their time away from the store." Since the the next phase of vaccinations will be offered to frontline essential workers, including store employees, Dollar General wants to ensure its staff doesn't have to choose between receiving the vaccine or coming to work.
