Facebook paying USD 1,000 bonus to staff working from home amid corona outbreak

Chennai: Facebook employees will be paid a one-time bonus of USD 1,000 to help them work remotely, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in an internal memo on Tuesday, as many of its offices around the world shut down and staff begin working from home.

The company will also give every employee an “exceeds expectations” rating in their performance review for the first half of this year, to ensure that all employees receive their biannual bonuses, the Wall Street Journal reported.
