DICK’S Sporting Goods CEO Lauren Hobart announced on Friday the company will provide up to $4,000 in travel expense reimbursement for employees to travel to the nearest location where they can have an abortion.
“This benefit will be provided to any teammate, spouse or dependent enrolled in our medical plan, along with one support person,” Hobart wrote.
“While we do not know what decision each state will make in response to this ruling, we at DICK’s Sporting Goods are prepared to ensure that all of our teammates have consistent and safe access to the benefits we provide, regardless of the state in which they live.”
