Lowe’s Canada announces temporary wage hike

BOUCHERVILLE, Que. — Lowe’s Canada is responding to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic with a temporary wage increase for its employees. All full-time, part-time and seasonal hourly workers at its corporate stores (Lowe’s, RONA and Reno-Depot), contact centres and supply chain facilities will receive an additional $2 per hour for the month of April. This measure is in addition to the special payment announced in March, and is in recognition of the unplanned expenses and hardships that employees and their families may be experiencing during this time.
