The pandemic that is marking the year 2020. The coronavirus is changing many things in the day to day of both professionals and individuals. We have already seen several companies step forward to establish telework and protect their employees, and now it has been Sony the one that has joined this car. The PlayStation house has prepared everything so that your workers can work from home, and plans to continue with this methodology until, at least, next May.
Movement necessary, and that also comes in an interesting moment for the company. The launch of The Last of Us Part II in May and the movement to present the world of PlayStation 5 are two elements that will mark the coming weeks and months for those of PlayStation, and all this is going to have to be organized and carried carried out with the equipment scattered in their homes. Something that may be a little more complicated, but that, at least, will guarantee the safety of all those involved.
According to a memo I've been briefed on, all NA / European PlayStation employees will continue working from home through at least April 30, due to coronavirus. Workers will continue to be paid, "regardless of ability to perform remote work due to job function or responsibilities."

Patrick Klepek, from Waypoint, has been the one who has confirmed this initiative. The reporter explains that PlayStation members in the United States and Europe will work at home until at least April 30, and that they will continue to receive their usual salary. "Regardless of your ability to work remotely". The company is also offering $ 1,000 to each worker so they can buy the necessary equipment to carry out their work with normal normality from home.
Philosophy more than correct to guarantee the health and well-being of the human team and to be able to continue as normally as possible. PlayStation joins the string of companies that have had to change their methodology due to the complications caused by the pandemic.
