V. What We’ve Done For Our Team During COVID:

Paid 100% Of Health Care Benefits For April, May And June Too.

While the Affordable Care Act does not require the business to provide healthcare to a staff of less than 50 employees, Sqirl provides healthcare benefits to all employees who work over 30 hours a week and also paid the entirety of their deductions for April, May, and June of 2020.

Furloughed Employees Kept Their Benefits Intact.

When other restaurants were shutting down and firing their employees, Sqirl committed to furloughing the majority of ours. That meant that employees could receive enhanced federal and state employment benefits while Sqirl continued to pay for their health care. NOTE: COVID-19 did make four positions obsolete and therefore 4 employees were laid off.

Fed 10,000 Out-Of-Work Restaurant Employees Through the Lee Initiative, Saved Ten Sqirl Jobs at Increased Wage Rates.

From April 4 to May 31, Sqirl partnered with the Lee Initiative to provide more than 10,000 meals to out-of-work restaurant and hospitality employees. Ten Sqirl employees – prep and line cooks – chose to stay on and staff the project and received a pay increase (hazard pay) to do it.

Applied for and Secured CARES Act Loans to Weather the Storm and Cover.

Sqirl sought a Paycheck Protection Program loan in the first application period and finally obtained one in the second application. It meant moving the business’s accounts to a new banking institution. Sqirl used the funds to bring furloughed employees back on payroll at pre-tip wage rates that were at or higher than pre-COVID levels (boosting rates helped to offset tip losses) and to pay for rent and utilities.

No Reduction In Pay - Even For Managers – During and Post-PPP.

Sqirl hasn’t cut pay for a single Sqirl employee – hourly or salaried – during the COVID crisis.

Raised More Than $15K for Staff.

Sqirl sponsored a GiveSmart online fundraising drive, promoted employee-initiated merchandise sales, and gave the money earned through those initiatives to hourly and salaried employees.

Developed A COVID Open Source “Health Tracker” Application.
