For employees who average at least 25 hours of work per week, Target will offer medical plans, expanding eligibility from the previous requirement that they average 30 hours a week. Workers will also be eligible for health plans three to nine months faster than before, depending on their position.
New employees will also be paid as much as $24 an hour depending on the local market and position, although the minimum starting wage of $15 an hour will not change.
