-
Pay Rate Study

-
Pay Increase
Based on analysis of that data, we advised them that pay should be increased from $11 to $20 per hour.

We posted the job, then followed up over the weekend to encourage every applicant to complete the application process and be ready for screening on the Tuesday after the holiday.

We handled the smallest details, organizing the lines for orientation paperwork, drug screening, employee badges, parking passes — even providing a pen for paperwork.
