Aldi workers in Northumberland are set to receive a pay rise this Spring.
From April 1, store assistants will earn £13.50 per hour, rising to £14.47 based on length of service.
Giles Hurley, chief executive officer of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: "Our colleagues work incredibly hard to deliver exceptional value for our customers, and we're rewarding that dedication with the highest pay in the sector.
"We’ve invested over £42 million in colleague pay this year because we know that every single member of Team Aldi is fundamental to our success and deserve nothing less."
This marks Aldi’s second pay increase of the year.
In January, the retailer announced improved hourly rates alongside an increase in maternity pay to 26 weeks at full pay.
The supermarket, which employs more than 45,000 people across the UK, says it remains the only major supermarket to offer paid breaks to all staff members.
