Target Builds on Our Support for Team and Communities with $300 Million+ Investment
Target announced that they are investing
more than $300 million in added wages, a new paid leave program, bonus
payouts and relief fund contributions. The announcement reads in part: “First,
we’re continuing to make efforts to support our front-line teams. All full-time
and part-time hourly team members working in stores and distribution centers
will receive a $2-per-hour wage increase through at least May 2. Further, U.S.
team members who are 65 or older, pregnant or who have underlying medical
conditions as defined by the CDC now have access
to paid leave for up to 30 days if they prefer not to work. These investments
are on top of millions of dollars we’ll be paying out for the first time to
some 20,000 hourly store team leads.”
