Tesco latest supermarket to increase staff pay

Tesco has become the latest supermarket to increase pay as retailers face up to the rising minimum wage and try to retain staff. The hourly pay rate for store workers will rise from £11.02 to £12.02 in April, while pay for workers in London will rise to £13.15 an hour. Tesco now joins Sainsbury's, Asda, Aldi, Lidl and M&S in increasing its minimum pay for staff outside of London to £12 per hour. M&S's pay rise will begin in April, while Asda will bring in an interim increase on 1 April to £11.44 an hour before raising the rate to £12.04 an hour from 1 July. Tesco said it would increase maximum company sick pay entitlement to 18 weeks for eligible colleagues.
