In addition to seasonal help for the holidays, Lowe’s is actively filling permanent full-time and part-time roles at stores and adding 2,500 team members at regional distribution centers nationwide, the company announced in a press release.
Active hourly associates at U.S. stores, distribution centers, and call centers will receive the bonus on Nov. 13 as they support customers preparing their homes for holiday celebrations and winter weather. Full-time hourly associates will receive $300, and part-time and seasonal associates will receive $150.
The sixth bonus payment builds on the $100 million announced earlier this month for associate bonuses in October, bringing Lowe’s total support of associates during the pandemic to more than $775 million. Lowe’s previously provided special payments and bonuses to hourly associates in March, May, July, August, October and now, November. Additionally, in April, front-line associates received a temporary $2 per hour wage increase.
“As the holiday season approaches, we’re especially grateful for our front-line associates who continue to maintain the highest level of customer service, and this bonus is our way of saying thank you and providing a little extra financial support for their families during this time,” said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe’s president and CEO. “We’re also pleased to continue hiring for more than 20,000 roles across our stores and supply chain during a time when it’s more important than ever to make being home for the holidays special.”
Throughout the pandemic, Lowe’s hired over 155,000 associates through its seasonal hiring process.
