Santa Clara County is joining a growing movement of cities and counties across California to require that large grocery stores offer hazard pay to their employees during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday night unanimously passed a law temporarily mandating that large grocery stores in unincorporated areas of the county pay their workers an additional $5 an hour on top of their regular wages to compensate them for continuing to risk contracting coronavirus while on the front lines.
