Overview

• From September 1, Aldi will set its minimum hourly rate at £13 nationwide and £14.33 within the M25.
• Long-serving store assistants will receive tenure pay uplifts to as much as £13.93 outside London and £14.64 in the capital.
• Aldi remains the only major supermarket offering paid breaks, worth about £1,385 per year for the average employee.
• The new rates exceed the UK Government’s £12.21 National Living Wage and the £12.60 voluntary Real Living Wage.
• This pay increase underpins Aldi’s commitment to spend £650 million on opening 40 new stores and recruiting 1,000 staff this year.
