- Tesco is implementing a significant pay rise for hundreds of thousands of its employees, effective from 29 March.
- Shop workers and staff at online fulfilment centres will see their hourly wage increase by 5.1 per cent to £13.28 nationally, and £14.55 within the M25.
- This adjustment is part of a £200 million investment and ensures Tesco's rates surpass the new national minimum wage of £12.71 for workers aged 21 and over.
- Other major supermarket chains, including Sainsbury's, Lidl, and Aldi, have also recently announced similar pay increases for their staff.
- Aldi is set to become the highest-paying supermarket among its peers when it hikes pay for store assistants to £13.50 an hour nationally and £14.88 in London from April.
