The grocer said it will create 3,500 more jobs to speed up home deliveries, while offering staff access to a "hardship fund" to help cover their bills as the pandemic continues to sweep through Britain. Those who are sick with the Coronavirus will also receive sick pay whether or not they would normally be eligible. To help manage a rise in online orders, the grocer said it will launch a new range of simple-to-order food parcels, including options for vegetarians, from March 23. In the coming weeks, a further 100 stores will also be used to gather online orders to ensure customers get the products they need. The vacancies will be advertised on the Morrisons jobs website.
