Affected workers will be paid for their scheduled shifts through Sunday, a spokesperson said Tuesday. If laid-off employees were enrolled in benefits, then they would receive three months of fully covered COBRA health insurance premiums, access to mental health support for 18 months and access to the Starbucks College Achievement Plan, which covers college tuition, through the December term. The Starbucks spokesperson said affected workers are also eligible for rehire if they weren't reassigned to a new location. The official notice of layoffs follows Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol's $1 billion restructuring plan announced last month that includes shuttering an unspecified number of stores around North America and laying off 900 nonretail employees.
