Hat trick of pay rises for Aldi’s warehouse staff

Aldi is giving thousands of warehouse workers their third pay rise in a year.

Wages will increase from the start of next month after two previous rises for hourly paid warehouse workers in 2022. Aldi said the latest rise means staff will have seen their pay jump by up to 20pc more over the past year.

Around 7,000 warehouse workers across the UK will receive the increase from Feb 1. Warehouse selectors, which Aldi says represent most distribution site roles, will get a new minimum rate of £13.18 an hour, up from £11.48 last January.

It comes after Aldi increased its pay for all store staff to at least £11 earlier this month. The retailer recently grew to become the UK’S fourth largest supermarket chain.
