Slack delays the reopening of its offices until September, but commits to continuing to pay contractors and hourly workers their regular wages

Slack will not reopen its offices until at least September 1 of this year, and is committed to continue paying its employees who can't do their work from home, including contractors and hourly workers. While other tech companies have also committed to paying their hourly and contract workers during this time, Slack's potential reopening date of September 1 would likely make it the longest period any tech company has committed to yet. Slack made the decision to make the delay because it means "less exposure for our employees, fewer invasive distancing measures in offices, less disruption for customers, and greater flexibility in weathering a potential second wave of the virus," SVP of people Robby Kwok said in a blog post.Slack's announcement also comes as the company has seen record usage
