親愛的夥伴們，
我相信大家都可以很明顯地感覺到，現在街上的人越來越多，餐廳也開始陸陸續續地開了，開車來上班，路上的車也多了，市面上跟二月份三月份比，確實有點兒不一樣，真希望一切都能慢慢回來，大家開始恢復正常的生活。
之前疫情期間，加發基本服務津貼
在前幾個月疫情嚴重期間，還記得嗎，只有醫院和超市等最重要的基本服務是開的。那時候我們分店、倉庫和中央工廠的同事，工作壓力特別大。尤其是雜貨、收銀部的夥伴，我們的米是一板一板賣出去的，大家搬米都搬得全身痠痛。為了感謝站在最前線熱血逆行服務社區的同事，公司從三月中開始加發臨時性的基本服務津貼。
現在疫情趨緩，穩步恢復正常運營
好在最嚴重的階段暫時過去了，我很高興看到整個公司都已穩步恢復正常運作，各省也紛紛解封，緩和的疫情已成為我們生活的「新常態」，因此，在五月底曾延長過一次的基本服務津貼，也將恢復正常在 6/14 到期。其實類似的津貼，別說其它華人超市，連許多主流超市也早在五月底就停了。公司必須為可能反撲的疫情，保留子彈，做好準備。
感謝前線夥伴，七月將發額外花紅
雖然基本服務津貼即將在 6/14 到期，但公司決定緊跟著從 6/15 到 6/28 再額外發給前線同事一次感謝花紅，這相當於把基本服務津貼再延長兩週，要為大家的努力付出，畫下一個完美的句點。我真的很想多謝謝你們，真的以你們為榮。這額外的感謝花紅將在 7/10 發放，人力資源部會公布細節。
再次謝謝大家。

Hi Team,
It’s amazing to think that COVID-19 has been part of our reality for more than three months now. And, many of the changes and safeguards we introduced during the pandemic are now part of our new normal. It’s great to see that our stores, CK/CB, and warehouses have settled into such a good rhythm. With this stability and with economies re-opening we have decided the time is right to transition out of our temporary essential service allowance, put in place for 13 weeks to recognize your extraordinary efforts.
The $2-per-hour allowance will end on June 14, with an additional benefit in early July. As we thought about winding the allowance down, the Company decided that an additional one-time “Thank You” bonus would be a rewarding conclusion for you. More details on “Thank You” bonus to follow, but basically, the “Thank You” bonus will be an equivalent to the $2-per-hour allowance and will be paid to eligible colleagues who have worked shifts between June 15 and June 28 and are still under our employ when the bonus is paid. The bonus will be paid on July 10.
Like so many Canadians, you all rose to the challenge that was put in front of you and, as always, you have helped Canadians live life well. Thank you.
Tina
