£180m ‘investment’ | Tesco to increase staff pay but scrap 10% Sunday bonus

Tesco has announced plans to raise wages for staff by 5.2% ahead of changes to the UK's National Living Wage in April.

The minimum hourly rate for staff will jump from £12.02 per hour to £12.45 per hour, effective from 30 March—but the supermarket giant will end its ‘Sunday bonus’ for employees across the board.

The changes have been approved by unions representing Tesco employees.
