Walmart just announced that they will be making some significant changes to the staffing and internal framework of their Supercenter stores that will result in a significant pay increase for approximately 165,000 hourly employees (via USA Today). Adopting a structure similar to their warehouse affiliate, Sam’s Club, Walmart COO Dacona Smith explained that they will be transitioning to a “team-based operating model” that will not only create new positions and give many current employees more responsibility, but also ensures that “associates will have more room for career and pay growth.”
Most affected employees will see a pay increase from $11 to $15 an hour, while some key leadership roles will receive a raise of as much as $30 an hour (via Fast Company). The new hourly wages will take effect in October and take the place of the traditional annual raises that employees usually receive in either February or April (via USA Today).
