Aldi has announced that staff working in its distribution centre in South Marston and others around the UK will receive a 9% payrise next month.
From September, all hourly paid colleagues within its warehouses will have received pay rises of up to 9% on their previous January 2022 hourly rates. The majority of distribution centre roles are Warehouse Selectors, who will receive a new minimum rate of £12.66 an hour.
Staff working outside normal operating hours will also see their night premium payments increase from 20% to 25% of their normal hourly rate.
This move follows up ALDI’s recent pay rise announcement for store colleagues which will see store assistants receive a minimum of £10.50 an hour nationally from September.
Giles Hurley, Chief Executive Officer of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “This announcement recognises the amazing contribution our logistics colleagues make in serving communities across the country.
“We’re also pleased to be able to increase the night premium we pay to our many colleagues who work so hard to keep our stores well-stocked. Their outstanding efforts help ensure that our customers continue to have access to fresh affordable food, every single day.”
Aldi is the UK’s fifth-largest supermarket and has more than 970 stores and 11 regional distribution centres across Britain.
