Aldi is giving store colleagues across Lanarkshire a pay increase for the second time this year, maintaining its position as the UK’s best-paying supermarket.
From September, all hourly paid colleagues at its stores will receive an increase of 40 pence an hour on their current hourly rate, taking Aldi’s minimum pay rates for store assistants to a sector-leading £10.50 an hour nationally and £11.95 for those inside the M25.
Aldi - with stores in Hamilton, Motherwell, Bellshill, Airdrie, Wishaw and East Kilbride among others - also remains the only supermarket to offer paid breaks, which for the average store colleague is now worth more than £830 a year.
