John Lewis staff could face smaller pay rises

John Lewis staff have been informed they face the prospect of smaller pay rises under new proposals being considered to give the business more flexibility as its turnaround continues.

The department store chain and its Waitrose food arm have been consulting on ways to “reset” its current payment policy and put the ailing chain on a more “sustainable” footing, according to The Telegraph.

The proposals would see senior leaders handed more power to control performance-linked pay increases and would likely mean a “smaller number” of staff would qualify for the highest tier of salary increase in the future.
