Lidl has said it will become the first UK supermarket to implement the minimum wage as recommended by the Living Wage Foundation. From October, Lidl UK employees will earn a minimum of Â£8.20 an hour across England, Scotland and Wales, and Â£9.35 an hour in London, the supermarket said. However, the pay rise will not apply in Northern Ireland. The Foundation will announce a change in its recommended rates in November.
