Every little helps? | Should firms copy Tesco by letting staff access wages early?

Tesco workers will be able to receive a portion of their wages ahead of payday as bosses look to help ease the burden of the cost-of-living crisis.

The supermarket says its new scheme will allow 280,000 UK employees to receive up to 25% of their contractual pay early, with the primary aims being to help staff with soaring bills and avoid the need to take out pay day loans with extortionate interest rates.
