"Proud Pay" is a temporary pay increase of $2 for each employee.
"We are proud to announce that that all hourly store, manufacturing, warehouse and transportation Partners will receive $2/hour Texas Proud Pay effective 3/16-4/12 to recognize their hard work and thank them for their commitment as they help serve our customers & communities," H-E-B announced in the beginning.
