Archived Pay Increase

[ntauctions]

Apparently our stores base pay, atleast for flow, is $11, plus a $1 shift differential. I was told that since our states minimum wage went up on 12/31 that'd I now would be making $11.75, plus the $1 extra, making my total $12.75 per hour. Not bad, and expected to increase until our state is at $15 minimum. I'm guessing Target would be $1 over this, plus an additional $1 overnight differential. $17 an hour for putting stuff on shelves isn't bad at all 🙂

Sounds good, but hopefully taxes/prices of merch isn't ridiculous.

Yeah or cost of living. We have a base of 14 right now but its so expensive to live here you dont come out that far ahead.

When the reviews come around, you may get a few cents raise.

Do all stores in your state start at $14 or just your store due to it's area and cost of living? What is your state's minimum wage?

When it hits 15 an hour I picture Target running on the smallest crews possible.

Agreed. People might get 15 but payroll budget will still be the same total which equals less crew and less hours so no more real pay. And in turn evn less people on salesfloor to drive sales equals less revenue and then more hour cuts.

Thats actually not how it works, payroll is allocated based on hours not a set number of hours. Otherwise TLs would get less hours than TMs since they make more.

How some stores can support higher wages is higher prices. My store sells Old Spice deoderant 20 cents lower than the one closest to my house.
