Carhartt has announced it will furlough 2,000 of its 5,400 employees but will maintain workers’ pay as the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact the business. Carhartt said that if the state unemployment and federal supplement payments don’t equal the furloughed employee’s current pay, Carhartt will pay the difference in a lump sum. Employees also will receive health benefits through the furlough schedule of April 13 to May 9. "The health and well-being of associates continues to be the number one priority at Carhartt," the company said in a statement. "However, during these uncertain times, the company must also look at the long-term health of the business and take necessary steps to preserve its future."
