People working as store assistants at Aldi are in line to receive their second pay rise this year.
The budget supermarket chain announced that from September, all hourly paid colleagues at its Merseyside stores will receive an increase of 40p an hour on their current hourly rate. This will take Aldi's minimum pay rates for store assistants to £10.50 an hour nationally, making it the UK's best-paying supermarket.
Aldi also remains the only supermarket to offer paid breaks, which for the average store worker is now worth more than £830 a year.
