Sainsbury’s has said it will increase pay for its staff again, in its third hike in the past 12 months.
The supermarket's 127,000 hourly workers will now be on £11 an hour from February. The retail giant, which runs almost 600 supermarkets and more than 800 convenience stores, revealed that the pay increase will cost the firm around £185 million in investment.
The move, which represents a 10% increase year-on-year, comes as UK retailers seek to attract talent amid a tight labour market and pressure on household finances. The increase comes on top of a £20 million investment in October, in its previous pay increase for workers.
