Paid lunch breaks are worth £900 a year to their staff
Finding well-paid employment amid the continued cost of living crisis is one of the best ways for workers to upgrade their personal finances. Finding the right place of work is not always easy, but for the more than one million people in the UK that work in supermarkets, wages have shot upwards in recent months.
This higher basic rate of pay will also include 21 and 22-year-olds for the first time. But one of the big supermarkets is set to pay considerably more than its competitors, possibly even enough to tempt people out of other industries with a good annual salary, paid lunch breaks, and free gym memberships - the German bargain chain Aldi.
This pay rise for workers equates to an extra £79m spent on wages in just the first four months of this year, in which Aldi plans to expand massively across the country, hiring a further 5,500 people to stack the shelves, mop the floors, and work the tills.
