Dollar General is one of the first major companies to announce extra pay for workers who get vaccinated.
(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File)As vaccinations continue across the U.S., some companies are offering financial incentives to encourage their workers to get the shots.
Instacart Inc., the grocery delivery service, announced Thursday that it would provide a $25 stipend for workers who get the COVID-19 vaccine.
It joins others, including Trader Joe's and Dollar General, which plan to pay workers extra if they get vaccinated.
Those challenges provide a strong incentive for companies to get their workers vaccinated, said Laura Boudreau, an economics professor at Columbia Business School who specializes in labor rights.
