Tesco has announced it is giving a 10 per cent Christmas bonus to its permanent workers across stores, distribution centres, customer fulfilment centres and its customer engagement centre.
According to the retailer, the move is to recognise the “incredible hard work” of its employees, who have “worked tirelessly” to keep food on shelves throughout the pandemic.
For hourly-paid colleagues this will be a 10 per cent bonus on actual hours worked and for front-line managers, this will be a 10 per cent bonus on salary for weeks worked. Store colleagues will receive the bonus for hours worked between 13 December 2020 and 9 January 2021.
Jason Tarry, Tesco UK and ROI CEO, said: “The hard work, dedication and resilience that colleagues have shown over the last few months has been remarkable. This year has proven challenging and uncertain for so many of us and this bonus is a way of saying thank you for the incredible response of our colleagues to these challenges. We’re also giving colleagues an extended 20 per cent discount on their shopping in the run-up to Christmas, to help bring some extra festive cheer.”
