The one-year pay deal, which has been developed in partnership with Usdaw, is above inflation rates.

The supermarket giant is also increasing night premium payments for eligible employees from the current rate of £2.21 to £2.30 from 5 September 2021 – an increase of 4.1%.

Jason Tarry, Tesco UK chief executive, said: “We’re delighted we have been able to reach this agreement giving our colleagues a well-deserved pay increase. Over the last year our colleagues have gone above and beyond to continue to serve our customers throughout the pandemic. Together with our other colleague benefits, it makes our total reward package more competitive than ever before.”

“We are committed to working in partnership with our unions, and will continue to review and invest in our colleagues’ reward to ensure we remain an employer of choice.”
