Kroger to Pay $130 Million in One-Time Employee Bonuses

Kroger to Pay $130 Million in One-Time Employee Bonuses

Major U.S. grocery and drugstore chain Kroger (NYSE: KR) says it will pay $130 million more in bonuses to its workers, both part-time and full-time, in two parts. Like other bonuses and extra pay the company has dished out during the past several months, this bonus is to "recognize and thank our associates for their incredible work during this historic time" of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to CEO Rodney McMullen. Saluting the additional risks taken by grocery workers in keeping America's food supply functional through the coronavirus outbreak, Kroger gave out its first round of bonuses in April.
