Megastore Costco has announced that it will be paying its employees $ 16 an hour starting next week.
In the midst of a hearing in federal congress, Costco’s executive director, W. Craig Jelinek, announced that it was determined to raise the minimum wage for all of its employees starting next week. He said he will pay $ 16 an hour at the time of discussing an increase in the federal minimum wage to $ 15.
Jelinek’s determination is not to lose employees, but recognizes that his employees “play a very important role” in the success of the company.

Several bills filed evaluate starting the increase by paying $ 8.50 an hour. For more information about the increase in the minimum wage on the island, click here.
