The Sharks are joining a growing list of professional sports organizations that will do right by their employees during the coronavirus outbreak that has paused the sports world.
Sharks Sports & Entertainment will pay all their part-time SAP Center employees who were scheduled to work this month for both Sharks and Barracuda games, a spokesman told the Mercury News' Curtis Pashelka Friday.
The Sharks were scheduled to play three games at home in March, while the Barracuda had two.
Both the NHL and AHL, along with the NBA, MLB, MLS, NCAA and PGA Tour, suspended their season Thursday amid the coronavirus outbreak that has hit countries all over the world.
