Around 26,000 retail workers will see their pay boosted for the second time in two years from today, April 1.
Discount fashion chain Primark has announced staff will get an average rise of 12%, which will take pay to £11 for staff across the UK and £11.51 for staff working in the retailer's London stores. Staff will see the increase in their April payslip with the new hourly rates introduced for staff from April 1.
Primark will also be removing age-related pay rates for those under 23, which means that all Primark retail assistants, no matter their age, will be paid the same wage for the work they do.
