All three major labels -SonyMusic, UMG, WarnerMusic - ask employees to work from home until 2021

The three major music companies — Sony, Universal and Warner Music — have asked employees to work from home as much as possible for the rest of 2020 due to concerns over COVID-19.

UMG — the world’s largest music company, home to artists ranging from Taylor Swift and The Weeknd to the Rolling Stones — told employees via email on Tuesday evening that “at this point, it’s our best judgement that not have a widespread return to our U.S. offices at least through late January, 2021, if not longer.”

The letter from HR chief Masha Osherova continues, “Our thinking is that we want to evaluate what happens after the summer holidays, in terms of the infection rate itself, the potential reopening of schools, and the higher numbers of people using public transport again. … At the moment, the picture in terms of infection rates is looking better in the UK than the US, hence the earlier projected Return To Office date in London.
