Macy’s is expected to furlough a “majority” of their 130,000 store employees nationwide, including the Westfield Valencia Town Center location, after closing due to coronavirus, officials said Monday.

The COVID-19 outbreak continues to take a “heavy toll” on Macy’s, Inc. business, the company said in a statement.

“Our top priority is the health and safety of our customers, colleagues and communities during this unprecedented crisis,” the statement said. “All of our stores have been closed since March 18 and will remain closed until we have clear line of sight on when it is safe to reopen.”

While the digital business remains open, Macy’s has lost the majority of sales due to the store closures, according to the company.

“We’ve already taken measures to maintain financial flexibility, including suspending the dividend, drawing down our line of credit, freezing both hiring and spending, stopping capital spend, reducing receipts, canceling some orders and extending payment terms, and we are evaluating all other financing options,” the statement said.

While these actions have helped, it is not enough, according to Macy’s officials.

“Across Macy’s, Bloomingdales and Bluemercury brands, we will be moving to the absolute minimum workforce needed to maintain basic operations,” the company said. “This means the majority of our colleagues will go on furlough beginning this week.”

There are expected to be fewer furloughs in the digital business, supporting distribution centers and call centers so officials can continue to serve customers online, according to the company.

At least through May, furloughed colleagues who are enrolled in health benefits are set to continue to receive coverage, with the company covering 100 percent of the premium, according to the statement.

“We expect to bring colleagues back on a staggered basis as business resumes,” the company said.
