High street giant Marks and Spencer (M&S) has announced it will be making a major change across all of its stores and Food Halls from April. Following a major investment, the retailer says all stores will be affected, and shoppers will agree it's a positive decision.
More than 40,000 store workers across Marks & Spencer are set to see a pay rise from April as the supermarket said it has invested almost £60 million in staff wages. Customer assistant staff will see their hourly pay increase to £10.90 from £10.20 from April 1, M&S revealed.
This will take it ahead of the national living wage which has been set at £10.42 an hour for those over the age of 23 from April this year. Employees in London stores will see their hourly wages upped to £12.05 from £11.25.
