Sainsbury's has announced a second pay rise for its lowest paid colleagues this year as part of a multi-million pound cost of living support package.
The supermarket giant has invested £25million that will see 127,000 store colleagues receive an extra 25p per hour and free food during their shifts in a bid to help with rising household costs.
Store colleagues outside of London at both Sainsbury's and Argos will see their hourly rate increase from £10 to £10.25, while the rate for London staff members increases from £11.05 to £11.30. It comes after the supermarket chain announced a pay increase for its staff members to £10 earlier this year in January and it is the first time they have given a raise outside of the annual pay review.
