UK supermarkets introduce £13 spending rule

Multiple UK supermarkets including Aldi, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Lidl, Waitrose, M&S, and Asda have implemented pay increases to meet or exceed the £13 hourly wage threshold in 2024-2025, with Morrisons planning phased increases through October. These wage boosts align with the Living Wage Foundation's Real Living Wage standard of £13.45, helping retailers attract and retain staff amid cost-of-living pressures.
