Morrisons is raising wages for its store workers as UK supermarkets struggle to recruit amid increasing competition in the industry.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It will pay staff at least \u00a310.20 an hour, making it the UK’s highest-paying supermarket, according to the firm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Morrisons said the offer would mean a pay rise for 80,000 of its employees across the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rival chains Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda have also announced wage increases for their workers this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Morrisons also said the minimum wage for London staff – which covers all stores within the M25 – would be \u00a311.05 an hour, the same rate as the voluntary London Living Wage. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  • Sainsbury’s elevators pay off after pressure from shareholders<\/li>\n
  • Tesco workers propose pay rise to \u00a310.10 an hour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    The new deal is set to begin in October, subject to staff approval of the offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Clare Grainger, Group People Director at Morrisons, said: “We are delighted to retain our position as the UK’s highest paying national supermarket.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Job vacancies in the UK hit record levels after the economy reopened from Covid lockdowns as employers scramble to meet demand, prompting a scramble to hire and retain staff.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Last month, official figures showed that for the first time since records began, there were fewer unemployed than job vacancies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    In March, Sainsbury’s announced an increase in its pay rates, but pressure from shareholders has forced it to raise wages for all of its London workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Tesco announced in April it would raise its minimum wage to \u00a310.10 an hour from the end of July to bring it in line with Lidl and Aldi, which were previously the UK’s highest-paid supermarkets at the same hourly rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
