Under the new pay guidelines that were announced in December and implemented on January 8, factory workers at Tesla make from $22 to $39 an hour, according to the documents.
The company has split up the pay tiers into three regions based on the cost of living in each area, with Tesla’s factories in Austin, Texas, and Sparks, Nevada, receiving the lowest pay, and the company’s sites in Fremont and Palo Alto, California, receiving the highest pay. The broader minimum wages in some of the regions follow a similar trend, with workers in California receiving a state-mandated minimum wage of $16 an hour, while Nevada and Texas have minimum wages of $10.25 and $7.25 an hour, respectively.
Could you imagine working in a factory 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for an entire year and only making $15,000?
I’ve always kind of thought that the rich didn’t always get really rich by taking advantage of their workers or saving every penny, that it was hyperbole. I think there are many out there that are generous but they’re the exception to the rule.
Millionaires, maybe. Billionaires, ABAB
Is that before taxes?
Yup. 7.25x40x52=15,080. Didn’t bother including taxes because I’m not sure if any gets taken out for that income range. I think its bellow poverty level so it might not get taken out, dunno.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Under the new pay guidelines that were announced in December and implemented on January 8, factory workers at Tesla make from $22 to $39 an hour, according to the documents.
For comparison, the average auto worker made about $28 an hour last year, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Workers can be eligible to move between levels every six months based on their performance as well as Tesla’s overall results, according to the document.
Workers are also eligible for a bonus every six months at the end of performance periods that go from January through June and July through December.
The carmaker told staff in January that it was giving production associates and leads a “market adjustment pay increase,” according to flyers at Tesla’s factories that were first reported on by Bloomberg.
Toyota and Hyundai have also increased pay at US factories in the wake of the United Auto Workers’ historic contract.
