As the labor market continues to tighten, Apple will provide raises to employees in hopes of retaining its retail location workers. <\/p>\n

\n

This week, Apple began holding store briefings and individual meetings with employees as the Cupertino tech giant prepares to increase the pay of its retail employees. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Salespeople, Genius Bar technical support, and some senior hourly workers will receive a bump in their pay starting this month. The raises will range from 2% to 10%, depending on the store location and role. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to Bloomberg<\/a><\/em>, the increases are catered to those who worked in Apple retail settings prior to the onset of the COVID-19<\/a> pandemic. The goal is to better align veteran staff with recent hires. The increases do not apply to all employees, and not all stores have been notified of changes. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apple has also planned<\/a> to significantly increase benefits for Apple Store employees starting in April. The company plans to add sick days and vacation days to retain employees. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In December, it was reported<\/a> that hourly workers in Apple’s retail stores and the company’s support call centers have revealed how poor conditions have led to struggles to pay rent \u2014 and even to suicide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
