Target Raises Minimum Wage to $15 an Hour
Target is in the news for two reasons today: first they are raising their minimum wage to $15 an hour effective July 5th.
The increase goes to full and part-time hourly Target team members in stores, warehouses, and at the company headquarters.
The second headline for Target is in regards to the announcement that Juneteenth will be observed as a company-wide holiday.
Target distribution centers and stores will remain open and hourly workers will get time and a half if they have to work on Juneteenth.
Today we’re announcing that we’re permanently increasing our starting pay to $15 per hour for all U.S. team members starting July 5, plus additional benefits. Click for details: https://t.co/9GP02MMH4k Thanks, team! pic.twitter.com/C6jRDZ7SR6
