Mayo Clinic to restore pay, end furloughs months
early
By Alia Paavola
M
ayo Clinic said it would restore pay to pre-COVID-19 levels
for staff and call back furloughed workers months sooner
than anticipated, the Rochester, Minn.-based system said
June 24.
Mayo Clinic in April furloughed or cut pay of 30,000 staff members
to help offset billions of dollars in losses attributed to the COVID-19
pandemic.
Mayo Clinic said it planned to restore pay for all staff except senior
leadership in mid-July. Furloughed workers will be brought back by
August, according to Mayo's statement.
Mayo said it can end the pay cuts and furloughs early due to a better
than expected increase of activity in practice, research and education.
Mayo also said patient volume for outpatient, procedural and surgical
services was rising.
"Because of our staff 's teamwork and commitment to patients, our
practice reactivation over the past eight weeks has truly exceeded
expectations for revised 2020 patient volumes and financial targets,"
said Gianrico Farrugia, M.D., president and CEO of Mayo Clinic. "In
short, we are in a much better position than we anticipated, and we're
very pleased to be able to restore pay and end furloughs early."
Dr. Farrugia also said that while furloughed staff will return by the
end of August, many people will work from home. n
