Tesco announces another pay rise for staff - days after Asda announced wage increase
Tesco has become the second supermarket chain in as many weeks to announce another pay rise for its staff.
The retailer said the new minimum pay rate for store workers will take place from April 2 to “reflect the increasing costs our colleagues are currently facing”. Tesco said its latest pay increase, which followed discussions with the Usdaw union, is also on top of investment into free food for staff in store canteens, a salary advance scheme and a discount of up to £1,500 a year off shopping.
“We know that many colleagues have felt the pressure of rising costs this year, and we are absolutely committed to supporting them with competitive base pay and exclusive colleague benefits. This agreement recognises the incredible work and dedication our teams show every day in serving our customers.”
