An Austin Texas  Chick-fil-A owner recently had to shut down his Austin, Texas, restaurant for five months for renovations.  Instead of temporarily laying off his 50 workers, Jeff Glover shocked his staff by continuing to pay them during the entire five months the restaurant would be closed, ABC affiliate KVUE reports.

Glover even gave them a $1-per-hour raise for sticking with him.

Starting pay at Glover’s Chick-fil-A is $11 an hour and he pays full-time workers roughly $3,600 a month before taxes, according to KVUE.

“It would be a real financial crisis for the 50 families represented by the workers here to have to go five months without a job,” Glover told the station.
