Bank of America delays return-to-office plans for US employees

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bank of America Corp.‘s U.S. employees will not return to the office until after Labor Day, according to an internal memo obtained by the Charlotte Business Journal.

Charlotte-based BofA has about 180,000 employees working remotely. The bank implemented work-from-home policies in mid-March to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

The memo said BofA is seeing more Covid-19 cases among workers, especially U.S. employees working from home.
