STAFF at a supermarket chain will be in line for a pay increase this summer.

The hourly rate will rise to £11.40 per hour for Aldi workers, rising to £12.30 per hour for those who meet length of service requirements.

Rates are higher for staff who work within the M25, at £12.85 and £13.15 respectively. They come into effect from July 1.

The company said the move maintains its position as the country’s best paying supermarket, and its rate are higher than the Real Living Wage, set by the Living Wage Foundation, of £10.90 per hour nationally and £11.95 inside the M25.

It is also 13% higher than it was a year ago, representing an investment of more than £100m in colleague pay in the last 12 months.

And Aldi says it is also the only supermarket to pay for breaks, a perk worth around £927 annually for the average worker it employs.
