Morrisons has revealed it will be making a change to how much their store employees are paid - but it’s still less than other supermarkets. The supermarket giant has agreed a new deal which will see all floor staff receive a pay rise, going up to £10.20 an hour.
The two per cent base rate rise makes Morrisons the ‘highest paying UK supermarket for store colleagues’, with London staff being paid £11.05 from October, when the new pay increase comes into play. However, Morrisons new rate is still lower than both Aldi and Lidl’s, who pay £11.55 and £11.30 respectively in London.
The new deal is planned to start in October 2022, and means that since 2014 the hourly pay rate for Morrisons store Customer Assistants has gone from £6.83 per hour for those who have passed a probation period, to £10.20 - a total increase of more than 40 per cent.
