14 Supporting employees Keeping employees safe remains one of our top priorities . We have taken measures to enhance the safety in our offices and branch locations based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance . Safety kits were offered to all Wells Fargo employees and free, voluntary, on-site or self-administered COVID-19 testing is available for employees currently working at Wells Fargo locations in the U .S . Globally, employees who choose to get vaccinated can receive up to eight hours of additional paid time off for COVID-19 vaccine appointments . Early in the pandemic, we adjusted our child care benefits in the U .S . and Canada to provide additional resources and flexibility for employees impacted by school closures . We also enhanced our health care and time-off benefits in the U .S . to help cover medical costs associated with COVID-19 and allow high-risk, exposed, or infected employees to stay home without having to take paid time off . Employees have access to a range of other resources through our internal COVID-19 resource center . Engaging our suppliers We continue to work closely with many of our small and diverse-owned suppliers to provide support for a variety of needs during COVID-19 . We’ve utilized virtual communications to provide them with: • Information on the U .S . Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) • Context on the economic impacts of COVID-19 • Grants to help support businesses across the U .S . through the pandemic • U .S . capacity-building programs to help businesses retool, recover, and restore Standing with communities We continue to evolve our social impact efforts to aid communities in response to COVID-19 . In 2020, we reallocated $175 million from the Wells Fargo Foundation to help address food shortages, public health needs, financial health, small business stability, and housing security for the most vulnerable populations . We expedited grant-making at the local level, as well as through relief efforts with national and international organizations, to help serve the immediate needs of our communities .
