Dr. Schär to Thank Production Employees Globally With 15% Bonus
BURGSTALL, Italy, April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In light of COVID-19, the South Tyrol-based company Dr. Schär has decided to honour the efforts of its global production workforce with a bonus of 15% per hour worked during the coronavirus health crisis.
"Being a family-run business, we feel it's essential to support our employees in these critical times,' says Brigitte Kurz, Chief Financial Officer of Dr. Schär.
