ALDI Ireland has announced a 2% increase for all colleagues paid hourly rates, with effect from 1 February.
The retailer first committed to paying the Living Wage at a minimum to all colleagues in 2018.
This latest increase equates to a 25% increase across the last five years.
The pay increase means the minimum hourly base pay rate at ALDI’s stores and warehouses will be €15.40 per hour, with additional annual increments rising to €17.75 after one, two and three years of service.
The business is investing approximately €5.5 million in this pay review, including auto-enrolment contributions.
ALDI has 166 stores across Ireland, including six in Mayo, and a team of more than 4,800 employees across its store network.
This latest increase will see the business meet or exceed the Living Wage, as calculated by the Living Wage Technical Group (LWTG) for the eighth year in succession.
