«I cannot emphasise enough that your wellbeing is a top priority and so most importantly, I want to reinforce that as employees in the US, your employment, pay, and benefits are secure, and our offices will remain open, even if this situation hasn't been resolved before the January 19 deadline,» the memo to TikTok employees said.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court seemed inclined to uphold the law, which was passed in April, despite calls from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and lawmakers to extend the Jan. 19 deadline.
Trump, whose inauguration takes place the day after the law goes into effect, has said he should have time after taking office to pursue a «political resolution» to the issue.
