In a continued effort to help its employees during the COVID-19 pandemic, Brookshire Grocery Co. is extending appreciation pay through Sept. 11 for its retail and logistics employees in recognition of their hard work serving customers.
The extension of $1 more per hour began March 24 at BGC.
Through additional nine weeks of extra pay, Brookshire’s will have given over $21 million to employees through bonus checks, gift cards, temporary wage increases for retail and logistics employees, retail incentives, employee discounts, on-site meals, and a compensation plan for those who may be directly affected by COVID-19, according to a company statement.
“Now more than ever, our retail and logistics employee-partners have continued to go above and beyond to provide our customers with product, outstanding service and a safe place to shop,” Trent Brookshire, COO for Brookshire Grocery Co., said. “I am so proud of our employees and this appreciation pay is a tangible offering of our sincere gratitude for everything they are doing. These heroes showcase their compassion and dedication every day while filling our essential responsibility in our communities.
