9to5Mac:

In addition to offering many of its employees the ability to work from home this week, Apple is also taking steps to ensure the well-being of its retail workers. 9to5Mac has learned that Apple hourly employees, including retail workers, are getting unlimited sick leave if they experience COVID-19 symptoms.

Apple retail workers are not required to submit a doctor’s note for this time off. This means that if they’re experiencing the COVID-19 symptoms, they can take the time that they need without having to worry about running out of sick days or providing a note to management.

One of the big issues with the “advice” of “just stay home,” is that many people, especially in retail, can’t afford to. This is a big gesture on Apple’s part and shows a lot of trust in their employees.
