Walmart Canada says employees will continue to be paid for shifts amid the store closure in Halifax due to a worker being found dead inside of a bakery oven.
A spokesperson for the big-box store said associates that had shifts scheduled during the store closure will be paid. However, the spokesperson noted they “will consider other alternate work arrangements in the event the store remains closed for a longer-than-anticipated period of time.”Police told Global News on Wednesday their officers are no longer at the scene but that other agencies may still be there, such as the province’s labour department.
Nova Scotia’s labour department said a stop-work order has been issued for the bakery and “one piece of equipment” at the Walmart store. Meanwhile, Walmart Canada said on-site support, including grief counselling, is also being provided to employees at another location in the near vicinity that is accessible for them.
