A growing number of restaurants, from East Coast chain &pizza to Olive Garden owner Darden Restaurant Inc., is offering workers paid time off and other incentives to get the Covid-19 vaccine.
The pizza company is giving its more than 700 employees four hours of paid time off and subsidizing transport for the vaccine. Darden, which also owns the Capital Grille and Longhorn Steakhouse chains, said earlier Tuesday it was offering as much as four hours of pay for workers to get the vaccination.
