Under the new pay guidelines that were announced in December and implemented on January 8, factory workers at Tesla make from $22 to $39 an hour, according to the documents.
The company has split up the pay tiers into three regions based on the cost of living in each area, with Tesla’s factories in Austin, Texas, and Sparks, Nevada, receiving the lowest pay, and the company’s sites in Fremont and Palo Alto, California, receiving the highest pay. The broader minimum wages in some of the regions follow a similar trend, with workers in California receiving a state-mandated minimum wage of $16 an hour, while Nevada and Texas have minimum wages of $10.25 and $7.25 an hour, respectively.
Is that before taxes?
Yup. 7.25x40x52=15,080. Didn’t bother including taxes because I’m not sure if any gets taken out for that income range. I think its bellow poverty level so it might not get taken out, dunno.
