Cleveland Clinic is making its goal to raise the minimum wage for employees to $15 per hour by 2020, according to Cleveland.com.
Here are five things to know:

2. Cleveland Clinic raised its minimum wage to $12 per hour in 2015. This was a jump from the federal minimum wage, which sits at $7.25 per hour.
3. The upcoming pay jump only applies to employees who do not make $15 an hour currently.
4. Cleveland Clinic employs 53,000 people. Workers who will see the pay increase include environmental service workers and patient care nursing assistants.
