The John Lewis Partnership announced a £114m investment in pay for 65,000 partners across the business this year.
77% (£88m) of the pay investment is voluntary and is beyond the requirements of the National Minimum Wage.
From 1st April, 2025 the minimum rate of pay for partners outside London will increase from £11.55 to £12.40 an hour and from £12.89 to £13.85 for partners within the M25.
Over the last three years John Lewis Partnership has invested a total of £295m in partner pay and the standard hourly rate for partners in our shops has risen by 25%.
Rates of pay increase to £13.39 per hour for those partners who gain enhanced skills and take on specialist roles in our shops, rising to £14.96 inside the M25.
Alongside this, partners who have contributed ‘exceptionally’ to the business will earn additional pay on top of the standard pay increase.
This means a customer-facing partner could receive a pay increase of 9.4%.
The investment in pay is complemented by a benefits package.
