"At Kum & Go, supporting military service is important to us. For our associates currently [image-nocss] serving in the U.S. armed forces, we want them to know we are here for them now and when they return from theatre," said Marcy Klipfel, Kum & Go's senior vice president of Grow People. "We're proud of them, and we know it's vital for us to support them and their families."
The new military pay benefit offers financial support to those National Guard and reservists who are deployed to tours of duty.
It is available to all current active and deployed military personnel employed by Kum & Go for a minimum of 13 weeks. If an associate experiences a loss of income due to a military deployment, Kum & Go will supplement the difference in their base pay for up to 12 months.
