Local manufacturer Caframo says it’s giving all of its employees a 13 per cent raise.
The announcement was made this past Monday by company president Tony Solecki.
A release from the company says several factors were considered when deciding on the wage increase.
Solecki says in a statement, “It’s been an exciting year and a half with significant sales increases while dealing with COVID and supply chain issues,” adding, “When we reviewed our current wages relative to our community and our cost of living, we realized that in addition to our popular family-oriented work environment and healthy benefits package, we wanted to be even more supportive of our employees and the great work they do.”
The wage increase goes into effect September 19th.
That means, the starting wage for production team members will now be $20 per hour which the company says positions Caframo as one of the top paying production facilities in the region.
Caframo is listed as a “Best Workplace in Manufacturing” by the Great Place to Work Institute and is also a Certified Living Wage Employer.
It currently employs 113 people and is actively seeking to fill 15 production team and other roles.
