From this week, Aldi Store Assistants will receive a minimum rate of £12.40 an hour.
The new pay increases, announced in March, will see the hourly rate of Store Assistants nationally rise from £12.00 to £12.40, and from £13.55 to £13.65 for those within the M25.
This marks the second pay increase for Aldi store colleagues this year and takes the supermarket’s investment in pay this year to £79m.
It means Aldi continues to offer the best hourly rates in the sector and the supermarket also remains the only one to provide paid breaks, which is worth more than £900 a year for the average store colleague.
Kelly Stokes, HR director at Aldi UK, said: “The roll out of our latest pay increase cements our commitment to our colleagues that we will always be the best-paying retailer.
“Our colleagues play an integral part in our ever-increasing popularity, and this is another way for us to acknowledge the incredible work they do every day across the UK.”
