SeaWorld has been forced to temporarily furlough the majority of its workforce due to the ongoing global outbreak of COVID-19.
The company said about 90% of its workers will be furloughed from April 1, 2020.
“The furloughed employees will not receive compensation from the company during the furlough period after March 31, 2020; however, subject to local regulations, these employees will be eligible for unemployment benefits,” it said.
“The furlough period is uncertain at this time due to the temporary park closures and will be reassessed as business conditions dictate.”
SeaWorld closed all theme parks in mid-March, including SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Sesame Place.
“We will announce ride openings and new launch dates after we resume normal operations,” SeaWorld added.
