Roommates, earlier this week we reported that “The Ellen Show”gave three of its senior producers the boot, after an internal investigation into the show revealed their involvement in an uncomfortable work environment. Now, the show is reportedly increasing employee benefits in an attempt to make it’s upcoming season successful for everyone.
According to Variety, the show is implementing several new benefits for staff, including increased paid time off and a new medical leave policy! Employees will now receive five paid days off, birthdays off, and paid time off for doctors appointments and “family matters.” Senior producers Mary Connelly and Andy Lassner reportedly announced the new perks at a virtual staff meeting.
Sources close to the show note that as rehearsals for Ellen’s spinoff show “Ellen’s Game Of Games” continued this week, the new employee benefits have increased “morale” for the staff. There is also a new Human Resources executive present to provide an open ear for all workers.
As we previously reported, Ellen announced that the show was letting go of three of its senior producers, after they were accused of sexual harassment and racism, as well as creating an atmosphere of intimidation.
