The Coronavirus has brought the world to a grinding halt. It has put the NHL on a hiatus as well as other sports events, concerts, and any other mass gathering. That means that there is no more income for big teams like the Carolina Hurricanes.
That places businesses like sports teams in a conundrum of how to pay their employees. Both part-time and full-time employees have an expected paycheck that helps them get through these tough times, especially now.
There has been some back and forth on if and how the team will pay them. Earlier the team, including contributions from the players, Tom Dundon, and the Carolina Hurricanes Foundation have managed to come together and figure out a way to pay part-time employees for lost wages they would have gotten at PNC during games.
