Lidl increases staff pay for fifth time in two years
Lidl GB has announced a pay increase for its hourly paid colleagues.
The move marks the fifth time the supermarket has upped rates for store staff in the last two years, taking its investment in pay to over £70 million.
Entry-level pay will increase from £12.75 to £13.00 nationally, rising to £13.95 with length of service. Meanwhile staff in London will see pay rise from £14 to £14.35, increasing to £14.65 also with length of service. Lidl colleagues benefit from higher rates than both the real living wage nationwide and the London living wage.
The new rates will come into effect in September.
Subscribe to TRBStephanie Rogers, chief people officer at Lidl GB, said: “Over the last two years, we’ve held our spot as the fastest growing bricks-and-mortar supermarket.
“This continued success is made possible because of the ongoing efforts of our colleagues, including customer assistants, shift managers, warehouse operatives and cleaners, whose commitment is greatly appreciated. In recognition of their contribution, we continue to ensure we are market leading on pay.”
