Require large grocery stores to pay employees extra hazard pay during pandemic
In Plain English
Large grocery stores with significant food sales would pay workers additional compensation for health risks during COVID-19. The law takes effect immediately if passed and ends after 91 days or when Richmond reaches the state's yellow safety tier. Workers at smaller stores or non-grocery retailers would not be covered.
