Tesco will give an extra pay rise to its workers to help them cope with the cost of living crisis. The supermarket giant was praised for announcing the second increase in hourly pay this year.
The basic hourly rate of pay in Tesco stores will increase by a further 20p to £10.30, and to £10.98 in London from November 13. This marks an almost 8% increase in Tesco’s hourly pay over this year.
The pay increase builds on what the company said was already a record single-year investment in store workers' pay. Tesco will also double the staff discount available to employees to 20% from December 13 to 19, to support them during the key Christmas shopping period.
