Lidl has announced its third pay rate increase in 12 months which will impact all of its 24,500 hourly-paid colleagues. The latest raise will see colleagues earn up to 16% more than their counterparts at traditional and premium-priced supermarkets.
Store and warehouse colleagues working outside the M25 will see hourly pay increase to £11.40 from £11.00, rising to £12.30 with length of service. Meanwhile, pay for those inside the M25 will increase to £12.85 from £11.95, rising to £13.15.
The move represents an overall investment of £8 million and equates to a combined investment of over £60 million into colleague pay in the past year alone.
