Value grocer Aldi has announced a further pay rise for staff, just a month after originally revealing a higher rate.
Aldi revealed that from next month will now pay store staff at least £12.75 an hour nationally, and £14.05 within the M25. There will be a further increase to £12.85 per hour and £14.16 per hour respectively from September.
That compares to the figures announced in January of at least £12.71 an hour nationally, and £14.00 within the M25.
Store assistant pay will rise further to £13.66 nationally, and £14.35 within the M25, based upon length of service.
The rise was triggered in order to maintain Aldi’s position as “Britain’s best-paying supermarket” after Lidl revealed its staff pay rise.
Aldi UK and Ireland chief executive Giles Hurley said: “This latest increase recognises the important contribution that our colleagues make day in, day out and ensures they are rewarded fully for their contribution with industry-leading pay.
“Every member of team Aldi plays an important role in providing the best products, service and value to the millions of shoppers that visit our stores.”
