Including pauses, this is equivalent to £ 13.46 an hour for full -time passages.
For team leaders, wages increased to £ 13.65 from April 1, 2025 from £ 13.32. This will further increase to £ 13.99 by August 1.

The retailer continues to offer complete advantages and support for the well-being of the staff. This includes the pauses remunerated during the work quarters, the annual holiday time ranging from 31 to 38 days for the members of the customer team and maternity and paternity in addition to the legal requirements.
The USDAW secretary general Paddy Lillis said: “USDAW has a long -standing relationship and appreciated with the cooperative and we welcome that the increase in staff remuneration is in accordance with the real salary rates. Our members are key workers in a company that offers an essential service in our communities and it is fair that they are enough rewarded by a living salary.”
