Asda is giving 115,000 workers a 10% pay rise thanks to a massive investment in wages in the company. The increase means the hourly rate at the supermarket will increase from £10.10 an hour to £11 in April, then to £11.11 an hour in July.
Workers inside the M25 will see their wages go up from £11.27 an hour to £12.17 in April, then to £12.28 an hour in July. Both sets of pay are above the National Living Wage, which is set at £9.50 but will rise to £10.42 in April, reports MirrorOnline.
The pay rises will cost the business £141 million this year, according to the retailer. They will affect staff who work across all its 633 stores.
