Two major UK retailers, John Lewis and Co-op, have announced plans to increase staff pay in response to the ongoing challenges faced by workers during the pandemic. Both companies have recognized the dedication and hard work of their employees and have taken steps to ensure they are fairly compensated.
John Lewis has revealed that it will be raising its minimum hourly pay rate to £9.91, which is above the current National Living Wage of £8.91. This increase will benefit over 20,000 workers across the country and is set to take effect from April 2022. The decision to raise pay comes as part of John Lewis' commitment to supporting its staff and providing a fair wage for their efforts.
