Over the next year, Tesco Ireland employees will receive a 10 per cent pay increase.
The retailer made the announcement today, as part of its 40 million euro investment in pay and benefits.
Maurice Kelly is the company's people director - he says it's important that wages reflect the current cost of living:
"Just given the timing in terms of the rate of inflation, the rising living costs at the moment, we felt now's the right time to try and give our colleagues more certainty. So specifically, looking forward into next year and trying to give colleagues that indication of a pay for next year we felt was really important."
