Fair Wages for Gas station workers in Ohio
As some know, I own some gas stations in Ohio and Indianapolis.I have been thinking of redoing my wages for some of my workers because I feel like we are paying our Employees too less and our Managers too much. We had a 93 percent turnover rate in employees last year and only had 2 managers voluntarily leave us last year. Just want to get your thoughts on livable wages to where it does not kill our company as well. To get a safe but cheap 1 bedroom apartment around this area will cost about 560 dollars monthly. There are also busses so a lot of our workers do not have a need for a car. Note that a lot of the stations that I own are in rough areas and we have bullet proof glass that we slide on during the night shift for the registers.
