The COVID-19 pandemic, which has so far infected more than 4.75 million people globally, has led to strict lockdowns in most countries and changed the way businesses function, with work-from-home emerging as the new norm.

“We want employees to be able to work where they feel most creative and productive,” a Square spokesperson said in an emailed statement.

The payments technology firm said it does not have an expected timeline for reopening its offices.

Tech giants like Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc’s Google have allowed most of their employees to work remotely until the end of this year.
