Also, “certain other employees across the company’s worldwide operating units” will have their pay temporarily reduced between 10% and 30%, while support staff can choose between a temporary furlough or reduced workweek/reduced pay program.

As for the retail stores, one-third of the U.S. locations will remain closed, while the other two-thirds are closed to customers but still offer curbside pick-up.
