In 2020, Target set its minimum wage at $15 which will remain in place, however, workers who qualify for the higher starting pay will based on the nature of their job and the competitive wages in their local market.

Beginning in April, employees who work a minimum of 25 hours a week rather than the previous requirement of 30 hours a week will be eligible to enroll in a health plan.
