For the first time, Sainsbury’s has introduced a staff pay rise outside of the annual pay review to help employees manage the pressure of rising costs.
The £25 million investment will support hourly paid staff with access to free food and discounts - and a huge £20 million of the sum will go towards increased pay.
Hourly rates at Sainsbury’s and Argos will rise from £10.00 to £10.25 and from £11.05 to £11.30 per hour for London staff.
