Home Depot bonuses worth as much as $1,000 will be handed out to the company's hourly workers in the U.S. as a one-time perk from the company, which cited the recent tax overhaul.
The home improvement retailer follows others doing the same, including Disney, Starbucks and Walmart.
Home Depot Inc. said Thursday that the one-time bonus will be distributed in the current quarter. Existing bonuses will be paid out as well.
The Atlanta company anticipates an approximately $150 million fourth-quarter charge mostly tied to taxes on unremitted offshore earnings. It expects the charge, plus the one-time bonus, to trim its fiscal 2017 earnings outlook by about 19 cents per share.
