Tesla Will Allow Factory Workers to Take Unpaid Leave Through May 31

After receiving clearance last week to reopen its factory in Fremont, California, Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) will allow workers who have concerns about the coronavirus to take unpaid leave through the end of the month, according to an internal memo initially reported on by Bloomberg News. According to the memo, which came from Tesla's North American HR chief, Valerie Capers Workman, the company's attendance policy will be reinstated at its Fremont factory starting this Friday. Tesla is reportedly allowing such employees to take unpaid leave through May 31 if they submit a signed form documenting their concerns.
