What is Tesco's hourly rate?

As of March 30, 2025, Tesco has negotiated a new pay agreement with the trade union USDAW, which will raise the hourly wage for store employees from £12.02 to £12.45. This increase reflects Tesco's commitment to providing competitive wages in the retail sector and supporting its workforce. Furthermore, there is an additional planned increase that will take effect at the end of August 2025, raising the hourly rate to £12.64. These adjustments not only aim to enhance employee satisfaction and retention but also align with the rising cost of living, ensuring that Tesco remains an attractive employer in the competitive retail market.
