Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS) is increasing the minimum wage for its colleagues to $15 an hour.
This change will provide a rate increase to approximately 3,000 HSHS colleagues across Wisconsin and Illinois and is a multi-million-dollar annual investment from HSHS.
Only about half of those positions, however, are currently at the HSHS minimum wage rate. The other half of these colleagues are already earning above $15/hour.
For several years now, the HSHS minimum wage rates in Illinois and Wisconsin have remained higher than the respective state minimum wage rates.
The state minimum wage in Wisconsin right now is $7.25/hour. And in Illinois, the state minimum wage is currently $11/hour.
Jobs in entry-level roles have become increasingly competitive in the US over the last year. This rate increase continues to position HSHS to be highly competitive in the labor market.
