Coyotes furlough half of team employees
Posted
The Associated Press
The Coyotes will furlough half of the organization’s employees with the NHL season on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The furloughs began Friday and will last through June 30.
The Coyotes said all furloughed employees will continue to receive 100% of health benefits.
Coyotes owner Alex Meruelo said the furloughs were necessary because it doesn’t appear the NHL will resume play in the immediate future.
Meruelo and Gila River Arena will continue to support the team’s arena’s part-time and hourly employees who were scheduled to work the team’s final eight home games. Similar support for the Tucson Roadrunners, the Coyotes’ AHL affiliate, will also continue.
