Store managers at select Taco Bell locations in the United States are about to see some very big paychecks.
In response to a difficult labor market with many companies struggling to find ways to retain and hire workers, Taco Bell will begin offering $100,000 salaries to some of the chain’s general managers in 2020, Bloomberg reports.
For some managers, the increase would double their current salary. Currently, managers are paid between $50,000 to $80,000 annually, according to KRON.
Exactly where will workers start to see the money rolling in? While Taco Bell hasn’t released specific locations, the higher salaries will be tested first in the Midwest and Northeast regions, Fox 8 reports.
This isn’t the only move Taco Bell is making to keep up with the competitive market. USA Today reported the chain will also be requiring all corporate locations to offer employees who have worked over 90 days a minimum of 24 hours of paid sick leave every year.
As part of its Jan. 8 announcement of the new employee changes, Taco bell shared its plans to make all packaging sustainable by 2025, according to Bloomberg.
Taco Bell is a property of Yum! Brands, which owns 6,500 Taco Bell locations in the United States, as well as 20,000 KFC and nearly 17,000 Pizza Hut locations globally.
