Gas South is increasing its starting pay rate for regular, full
time employees to $22/hour, an increase from $19/hour.
“We know many of our Care team members have been disproportionately impacted by financial
challenges including elevated rent, grocery, gas, and childcare costs,” said Jenni Hawkins, Vice
President of Customer Care. “Our people are the reason for our success, and we feel strongly
that raising pay for our Customer Care employees aligns with our purpose to Be a Fuel For
Good and our corporate value, Do What’s Right.”
The new rate will go into effect May 13. In addition to raising starting pay, compensation for
select current employees was reviewed and some will receive increased compensation to
properly recognize experience and level of responsibility.
“At Gas South, we believe in fair compensation and constantly strive to ensure our team
members are valued,” said Kevin Greiner, President and CEO. “We believe competitive pay
supports our goal of having the most effective, collaborative, and engaged team in our industry.”
Gas South continues to invest in its people with mentoring programs, financial wellness
seminars, generous 401K plans, generous time off offerings and mental health support. The
increased starting pay rate also allows Gas South to reward and recruit top talent.
“We are optimistic these investments will help our team members and their families live better
lives with brighter futures because of their employment at Gas South, ultimately benefiting our
customers and communities,” said Hawkins.
Gas South strives to Be a Fuel for Good with 2023 efforts including multiple active employee
resource groups, more than 1,270 volunteer hours logged, and $4.5M philanthropic dollars
given to support nonprofits serving children and families throughout Georgia and Florida. To
