Target To Pay More Than $70 Million In Bonuses To Hourly Employees Ahead Of Holidays
CNBC reports that Target will spend more than $70 million on another round of employee bonuses during the coronavirus pandemic, as the holiday shopping season picks up.
The retailer will pay $200 to its more than 350,000 employees who work at stores, distribution centers and contact centers, according to a post on its corporate website. It will pay the bonuses by early November.
Grocers and big-box retailers, including Walmart, Amazon and Kroger, temporarily increased pay and gave bonuses to hourly workers early in the pandemic. The “hero pay” was meant to recognize workers who helped the company replenish shelves during weeks of stockpiling and put their own health at risk.
