Lidl increases pay for 28,000 hourly-paid staff nationwide
Entry-level pay will rise to £12.75 nationally, up from £12.40.
Lidl has implemented a pay increase for 28,000 hourly-paid colleagues, with new rates coming into effect in March 2025.
Entry-level pay will rise to £12.75 nationally, up from £12.40 and increasing to £13.65 with length of service.
In London, new starters will see pay rates go up to £14.00, increasing to £14.35 over time.
These hourly rates come in ahead of the Government’s updated National Living Wage (NLW) in April, exceeding it by over 50p.
They will also be higher than the Living Wage Foundation’s new Real Living Wage, which is being implemented in April.
The latest investment into pay totals almost £15m, including increases for salaried colleagues across the business.
In the last 12 months alone, Lidl GB’s investment in pay totals over £54m.
Stephanie Rogers, chief people officer at Lidl GB, said: “More households than ever before are choosing to shop with us, making Lidl the fastest growing bricks-and-mortar supermarket for well over a year.
