Burlingame, California

Concerned about the economic impact of COVID-19?

Want more information on how COVID-19 is financially impacting the City, your benefits, other agencies?
 
This page is a list of resources and information that has been shared with HR during this time, we hope you find it informative. While it is the City's goal to maintain services and preserve full-time staffing, it is also true that individuals, the City, surrounding public agencies/cities, and benefit providers are facing tough economic challenges and financial decisions.

We are in this together, if there is anything HR can do to answer any questions you have, or provide you with resources, let us know. Being informed helps with your own personal planning, and can be reassuring during these uncertain and unprecedented times.
