Aldi, Lidl, M&S, Sainsbury's Among UK Supermarkets Introducing New £13 Rule
Major UK retailers including Primark, Tesco, and Aldi raise hourly pay to £13 or more to support workers amid cost-of-living challenges, benefiting tens of thousands nationwide.
- Several major UK retailers are implementing a new '£13 rule' this month, raising minimum hourly pay to at least £13 across store networks to support staff during the cost of living crisis.
- With the statutory National Minimum Wage rising to £12.71 in April, supermarkets are proactively adjusting pay to remain competitive while addressing financial pressure on household budgets.
- Lidl announced a £29 million investment raising entry-level pay to £13.45, while Sainsbury's confirmed national hourly wages will rise to £13.23, with London staff earning £14.54.
- From April 1, Primark and M&S will also increase pay, with Primark confirming more than 15 per cent wage growth over three years and M&S benefiting more than 50,000 staff.
- As M&S plans ambitious expansion revealing 500 earmarked store locations, these wage adjustments reflect broader retailer efforts to reward staff commitment amid demanding retail environments.
