Local 589 members who took a COVID-19 leave between April 1st and December 31st of 2020 are entitled to an 80-hour paid leave benefit.

Due to the high volume of reported pay discrepancies, the company will be reviewing any errors in COVID-19 leave.

If you believe you had an issue, please reach out to your union delegate with the following information.

1. Name & Badge
2. The dates of your COVID-19 leave
3. Whether or not you filled out and returned a self-certification form
4. Whether or not you received an approval from WorkPartners?
5. If your sick pay was replenished, if you were not paid at all, or if your vacation was taken to cover the time.

If you received the COVID-19 pay and/or had your sick or vacation bank replenished, you do not need to reach out.

If anyone has any questions, contact your delegate or the union hall at (617) 542-8212.

Thank you,

Executive Board
Boston Carmen’s’ Union, Local 589
