Waitrose has been accused of forcing reduced redundancy payouts on some of its warehouse staff who were at risk of losing their jobs.

The supermarket chain is under fire after offering impacted staff a lower reundancy package, despite having proposed “a more generous payout” in January this year, according to The Telegraph.

Staff are now expected to receive one week’s pay for every year of service rather than the previous two-week policy, on top of the statutory redundancy, which was “higher than typical market practice”.
