Rates will rise to 11 and hour. Great news for ASDA staff and shows that when employees hold more power good thing can happen.
Just to put it in perspective this is £2 less than a fully qualified nurse with 1 year of experience or £3 less than the same nurse with 25 years of experience at Band 5. It is £0.50 Less than band 4 nursing associate after 18 month at uni, with 2 years experience. And the same as top of band 3 care worker with 25 years of experience.
Is this the same time that Mimimum wage rises around 10%? It may be called a payrise, but its more like its just keeping it the same.
Funny how USDAW negotiated this deal with Asda, but they couldn’t get no more than 20p per hour rise for Morrisons staff.
A lot of thier drivers will be pissed if they don’t see a raise.
Day rate there is £13ph.
£2 more for the responsibility / stress of driving a HGV in traffic and manually unloading / loading.
Its only 58p above minimum wage which is £10.42, set for April onwards.
They pay their staff so badly that the government is making it illegal in a few months time.
Great news but why is public sector pay rises being held back for inflation?
Wonderful news for the workers who deserve it! Hopefully our public services will see a similar rise soon!
Pay rises in retail mean cuts elsewhere. Sainsbury’s has cut a load of jobs in their local stores and outsourced head office jobs to India. Tesco has announced they are closing down their remaining deli counters. So what do Asda have on the chopping block to fund this pay rise?

Can’t reply to this as I am blocked by the user. But I fail to see how this can be true. Band 5 nurse with 25 years experience would be on:
£16.84 (Outside of London)
£17.69 (Fringe)
£19.37 (Outer London)
£20.21 (Inner London)
About 50% of nurses are higher than band 5 (all nurses) and that would likely be considerably higher if you looked at nurses with considerable experience.
They got rid of the bonus scheme though. They said this will be the last year for it. Given this raise is to keep up with inflation/ minimum wage I’m unsure whether we’ll actually come out ahead in the end.
It’s great they’re getting a raise, but given inflation is ~11-13% isn’t this still a real-terms pay cut?
Just as night staff are being made redundant/forced to work day shifts.
Worth mentioning that as well as axing the bonus after this year, the £0.60 ‘location’ supplement that some stores get (not all, and I don’t know the details of who does and why) is very likely getting scrapped. So some places will gain £1.01 and lose £0.60.
As an ASDA employee, this is not as nice as it sounds.
Minimum wage is going up, that is why they are increasing the rate of pay.
Old rate of pay is minimum wage + 6.31 percent
New rate of pay is minimum wage + 6.21 percent
A real terms pay cut.
Along with this we are losing our yearly bonus, and inflation is still insanely high.
This is not a pay rise.
So a further increase in prices then I’m betting not less than 15% overall
Did the living wage not go up by 10.1% which the majority of asda workers will be on? Meaning this isn’t an increase enforced by Asda but an increase enforced by government.
So Asda are referencing an increase they had no part in?
Good.
Now fix your absolute pieces of shit in lower management.
Bonus payment for 2022 (reduced on last year’s) and no bonus payment going forward.
It’s not really a pay increase, it’s just redistribution of when it’s paid
This is why my mrs left for retail about 5 years ago and she’s never been so happy.
Never seen her return from work crying or dehydrated. She doesn’t have to pay some stranger money to park on their drive anymore, she can have a drink at work as well as eat, no 12 hour shifts, no doubling back, doesn’t work christmas. All for a tiny bit less money.
Country’s fucked.
Minimum wage is going up 10% in April so what Asda has done is basically give them one more month of an increase before they would have to anyway. then from April it’s 5% from the minimum for most people.
Whilst they endlessly cut staff, put more pressure on workers and work them to death.
Im a driver and my job is collecting hazardous waste. For that I need a clean licence, an adr waste carrier licence, a cleab drb/dbs check plus need to be physically fit (I lift anything from 3-7ton of waste, MANUALLY, a week.. I work 42hrs pw, risk my life on the road almost daily and then I have all the rules and regs I must comply with.. if Im caught to be non compliant on anything I get huge fines, points on licence etc.. All for ~£11.00 p/h .
You could work part time, basic job for min wage, claim universal credit and be as be as well off as me and have 4-5 days a week off..
This isnt right..
How about they stop putting their prices up every week, it’s getting ridiculous
To be fair minimum wage is going up about 10% to match cost of living inflation so it makes no difference!
