Alphabet Inc's Google said on Wednesday it will give an additional bonus to its employees globally this year, as the tech giant pushes back its return-to-office plan.

The latest benefit is in addition to Google's work-from-home allowance and well-being bonus, to support its employees during the coronavirus pandemic, the spokesperson said.
