Olive Garden's Parent Sets Policy On Employee Vaccinations
In what may be the first instance of a major restaurant company revealing its policy on vaccinating employees against COVID-19, the parent of Olive Garden informed its hourly workforce Tuesday that everyone will be provided with four hours of paid time to get the shots.

Darden Restaurants said in a memo from chairman and CEO Gene Lee that it will not require the inoculations. “We recognize getting vaccinated is a personal decision that you alone can make,” Lee wrote. But “while we will not require hourly team members to be vaccinated as a condition of employment, we strongly encourage you consider getting vaccinated.”
 
Vistaprint and PayPal Bring QR Code Touch-free Payments to Small Businesses
Vistaprint announced a collaboration with PayPal to bring innovative and safe touch-free payment solutions to small businesses across the country. Touch-free payments allow small business owners to process payments for goods and services without having to handle cash or credit cards, and avoiding physical contact with customers during the transaction. Through this collaboration, Vistaprint is enabling customers to leverage PayPal’s touch-free payment solution through a collection of customizable Vistaprint marketing products bearing their unique QR code.

“From the onset of the pandemic it became clear that small businesses would face challenges unlike any in recent history. However, if we've learned anything from our small business partners it’s that their resilience is grounded in their ability to remain flexible in how they run their businesses to meet evolving consumer needs,” said Emily Whittaker, President of Vistaprint, North America. “This collaboration with PayPal is one way we are building solutions that help small businesses make the necessary pivots to not only keep their customers safe but also create new, streamlined avenues for success well beyond COVID-19.”
