Lawmakers on Sunday finalized a $900 billion COVID-19 economic relief package that includes support for the unemployed and businesses affected by the pandemic. The package, which is expected to come up for a vote in the House and Senate today, would provide $284 billion for businesses under a revived Paycheck Protection Program, $600 stimulus checks phasing out for those with income over $75,000, $300 in added unemployment benefits per week for 11 weeks, an expansion of the Pell grant program for low-income students, and $25 billion in rental assistance as well as support for schools and public health efforts.

Some 5% of workers have resigned over messaging apps such as Slack during the pandemic, according to a Writer survey. The study also found 21% of employees have been interviewed via videoconference and 8% have been notified of promotions via email.

A survey by Willis Towers Watson showed that nearly 80% of US employers with staff health centers have added or increased remote care services during the COVID-19 pandemic, and nearly 60% say those services will be permanent. A majority of employers also have kept offering in-person services at their centers.

Fifty-seven percent of employees support mandated COVID-19 vaccinations from employers, and that percentage significantly increases among older, white-collar and Democrat-voting workers, according to a survey by CNBC and SurveyMonkey. "For CEOs and human resources professionals, the return to work is already a fraught endeavor, and factoring in political considerations adds yet another challenge," write Laura Wronski and Jon Cohen.
