Beginning today (Monday), employees at Quality Food Processors (QFP) of Denison will see the rollout of a $1 million investment. “We are pulling out all the stops and moving forward with a bold, concerted effort to invest in our team, their future and the future of our company,” says General Manager, Eric Kohler. “I am very proud of the quality work we’ve been able to achieve, and this endeavor opens a new chapter for Quality Food Processors,” he adds. The initiative will increase wages, bonuses and incentives in their efforts to show appreciation to their existing team and recruit new employees. Entry-level wages are being increased from $13.25 per hour for first shift to $15.25 and the second shift is being raised to $17.25 per hour, which includes a $2 shift differential. All grade levels are being adjusted as well. They have also initiated a new performance-based bonus program which rewards members as a whole for meeting or exceeding production volume goals through the year. This is in addition to the existing $600 hire-on bonus and $250 referral bonus currently in place. QFP is also working on incorporating a 401(k) match program for their more than 240 employees. The bacon processor has a goal of recruiting an additional 100 motivated individuals to join their team.
