Chipotle employees eligible for one extra month of pay

June 25, 2019

Chipotle Mexican Grill has launched a crew bonus program that gives hourly employees the opportunity to earn up to an extra month of pay each year. To qualify for the quarterly bonus program, restaurant teams must meet certain criteria such as predetermined sales as well as cash flow and throughput goals. The company designed the bonus structure to attract and retain top talent, according to a press release.

Chipotle employees are now eligible for up to a month's extra pay per year.

This program is offered quarterly and can result in a bonus worth one week's pay, calculated as an individual's average weekly pay per quarter. The restaurants on track to receive the first such bonus will be notified following the close of the company's second quarter in July.

"At Chipotle, we're not only looking to compete for the industry's best, we're looking to keep the industry's best," Marissa Andrada, chief people officer of Chipotle, said in the release. 

The bonus program is in addition to the existing annual crew bonus available for employees based on tenure and a minimum of one year of service. Chipotle crew members also receive other benefits including paid meal breaks (complete with a free Chipotle meal per shift, guac included), free English as a second language classes for employees and family members, tuition reimbursement up to $5,250 a year, as well as available dental, vision and medical insurance.
