What: The retailer has decided to give bonuses to many of its employees who stay on the job through the year.

Why is it important: Kohl’s and other retailers are challenged by labour shortage, in part due to people preferring to stay home rather than work, government assistance, child care requirements and a sense that wages are too low.

Kohl’s said hourly store, distribution centre and e-commerce fulfilment centre associates will be eligible to receive a bonus ranging from USD 100 to USD 400 for working with the retailer through the holiday season.

Kohl’s also hosted its first nonseasonal hiring event at all of its stores nationwide. The goal was to hire 5,000 associates for both full- and part-time positions. Kohl’s said it offers competitive wages, a weekly pay schedule, flexible schedules, including day, night and weekend shifts, an immediate 15% Kohl’s associate discount.
