A major supermarket has announced another pay increase for its hourly-paid staff, marking the fifth rise in just two years.

From September, entry-level Lidl store employees across the UK will see their pay rise from £12.75 to £13.00 per hour, with longer-serving staff earning up to £13.95.

In London, rates will increase to £14.35 for new starters and up to £14.65 for those with longer service.

The move brings Lidl’s total investment in staff wages to more than £70 million over the past two years, reinforcing its reputation as one of the highest-paying supermarkets in Britain.

The company has highlighted the crucial role its employees play in driving its ongoing growth and success.

Stephanie Rogers, Lidl GB’s chief people officer, 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.”

Lidl’s commitment to staff pay has been consistent. In February, the retailer announced a pay rise for 28,000 hourly-paid colleagues, which came into effect in March.
