Aldi has announced it is giving store workers in Nottinghamshire a pay increase for the second time this year. From September 2022, all hourly paid colleagues at its Nottinghamshire stores will receive an increase of 40p an hour on their current hourly rate, taking Aldi’s minimum pay rates for store assistants to a sector-leading £10.50 an hour nationally and £11.95 for those inside the M25.
Aldi also offers paid breaks, which for the average store colleague is now worth more than £830 a year. Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “Our new rates of pay maintain Aldi’s position as the UK’s highest paying supermarket.
“This announcement recognises the amazing contribution our colleagues make in serving the local communities in Nottinghamshire. Their outstanding efforts have ensured that our customers continue to have access to fresh affordable food, every single day.”
It comes after the company announced that 128 jobs were up for grabs in its warehouse just over the border in Leicestershire over the next 12 months. The new jobs includes both full-time and part-time positions, with pay of up to £19.80 per hour.
Aldi is the UK’s fifth-largest supermarket and has more than 970 stores across Britain.
