LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- FMS Solutions is proud to announce the release of

tailored specifically for the independent grocery sector. This
year's study offers an in-depth look into current compensation
trends and benefits packages across the industry, providing crucial
insights for grocery store owners and managers.
FMS Solutions Unveils 2024 Grocery
Compensation and Benefits Study
The 2024 FMS Compensation and Benefits Study comprehensively
examines wages—including hourly pay, salaries, and bonuses where
applicable—for 30 roles ranging from store manager to bagger. One
highlight of the report reveals that both exempt and non-exempt
employees received an average wage increase of 4.9%, primarily
driven by cost-of-living adjustments rather than performance-based
raises. The raises for nonexempt employees closely mirrored those
awarded to exempt staff, and 90% of the surveyed grocers have
allocated budgets for employee raises in 2024.
"In today's challenging labor market, understanding the
complexities of compensation has never been more critical," said
FMS Solutions President and CEO Robert
Graybill. "Our latest study provides the grocery sector with
the essential data needed to navigate these times, ensuring that
they are equipped to attract and retain the top talent necessary
for sustained competitiveness."
This comprehensive dataset is especially valuable for grocers
committed to adapting their strategies to meet market demands and
employee expectations in a period marked by significant upheavals
in the labor market. "As we look to the future, the ability of
grocers to effectively manage their compensation strategies in
alignment with evolving market conditions will be a defining factor
in their success," added Graybill. "This study serves as a vital
tool in that effort, offering critical insights into the current
economic climate."
The 2024 FMS Compensation and Benefits Study is available for
purchase now at fmssolutions.com. Study participants will receive a
complimentary copy as a token of appreciation for their
contribution to this critical industry resource.
