Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is tweaking its new wage policy, which it announced in 2015 to boost the customer experience in stores, a company spokesperson told Retail Dive.
The retailer raised its hourly minimum to $9, and is shortening the training time it takes for workers to increase their wage to $10 per hour from six months to three. (Workers in areas where the minimum wage is $10 or more do not see an automatic bump after completing their initial training, Wal-Mart spokesperson Blake Jackson told Retail Dive.)
