Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Thursday that it was increasing entry wages for its U.S employees to at least $9 an hour, $1.75 above the federal minimum wage, starting in April.
The company announced a package of changes to the company's hiring, training, compensation and scheduling programs, as well as to store management structure, in the U.S.
One of the immediate changes is a raise in starting pay, with entry wages for current employees increasing to at least $9 an hour this spring. Also, all current associates will be paid at least $10 an hour by February 2016, the company said.
Wal-Mart said it was also launching a program for future associates in which they will be paid $9 or more an hour next year, receive skills-based training for six months and then be guaranteed at least $10 an hour after completion of the program.
Approximately 500,000 full-time and part-time associates at Wal-Mart stores and Sam's Clubs in the U.S. will benefit from the pay raises, the company said.
Chief Executive Doug McMillon said the changes "will give our U.S. associates the opportunity to earn higher pay and advance in their careers."
Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has been under intense pressure from organized labor groups to raise its starting hourly wage to $15 and provide workers with more consistent hours. With its new changes, the company's average full-time wage will be $13 an hour, up from $12.85, the Associated Press reported. For part-time workers, the hourly wage will be $10, up from $9.48, the AP said.
