Target Will Observe Juneteenth as a Company Holiday

Target has become the latest company to make Juneteenth a national paid holiday.
Target distribution centers and stores will remain open and hourly workers will get time and a half if they have to work on Juneteenth.
Target corporate offices will be closed.

Will your office be honoring Juneteenth?

In addition, Target will raise the minimum wage for workers nationwide to $15 an hour starting on July 5th.

The increase goes to full and part-time hourly Target team members in stores, warehouses, and at the company headquarters.

Target had planned to reach the $15 an hour minimum wage by the end of 2020.

The retailer is also giving frontline store and distribution workers a one-time $200 bonus for their efforts during the coronavirus pandemic.
