Lidl's British workers get fifth pay rise in two years
LONDON, Aug 15 (Reuters) - The British arm of German discount supermarket Lidl is to give its 28,000 hourly paid workers a fifth pay rise in two years, matching the increased level offered by rival Aldi, it said on Friday. The Bank of England is keeping a close eye on wage settlements as it assesses whether to lower interest rates further. Official data published on Tuesday showed Britain's jobs market weakened again, with payrolls falling for a sixth month and vacancies dropping further. However, wage growth stayed strong, underscoring why the BoE is so cautious about cutting interest rates. The latest increase from Lidl GB, which trades from 980 stores, will from September 1 see entry-level pay rise from 12.75 pounds ($17.32) an hour to 13 pounds nationally, rising to 13.95 pounds with length of service. Workers in London will see higher rates. Last month, Aldi UK said it would pay store assistants at least 13 pounds an hour from September 1. Industry leader Tesco (TSCO.L), opens new tab will pay a minimum of 12.64 pounds an hour from the same date. Britain's government-mandated main minimum wage is currently 12.21 pounds an hour. Earlier this month, the body which effectively sets the rate said it will probably need to rise to 12.71 pounds next year to keep up with the government's goal for it to match two-thirds of median earnings.

More than 100 big stores including Sainsbury's & Tesco at risk of closure over Labour's planned business rate increases
The new rates will not impact Aldi and Lidl as they operate smaller premises. STORES IN CHECKOUT More than 100 big stores including Sainsbury's & Tesco at risk of closure over Labour's planned business rate increases Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MORE than 100 supermarkets belonging to some of the UK's biggest chains are at risk of closure because of Labour's planned business rate increases. Sainsbury's, Tesco and Morrisons may have to shut large stores, as the Government plots to raise rates for businesses with properties that are worth more than £500,000. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Morrisons is among the supermarkets who may have to shut large stores if Labour increases business rates Credit: Getty Around 50 of Sainsbury's 600 supermarkets will become unprofitable as a result of the higher property charges, according to the Financial Times. The changes would put several Tesco stores at risk, as well as 30 of Morrisons' 500 sites. Sources also revealed that 90 per cent of around 600 Asda stores would be hurt by the introduction of the increases. The new rates will not impact Aldi and Lidl, however, as they operate smaller premises. The Government is bringing in the rate increases to provide extra funding to smaller retailers and hospitality businesses. Tim Martin, boss of pub chain Wetherspoons, blasted the tax raid last month and warned it could lead to fewer boozers on high streets. The planned tax raid comes after Chancellor Rachel Reeves had already hit businesses with an increase in employer National Insurance contributions and the national minimum wage in April. LIDL PAY RISES LIDL is raising its store staff's wages to £13 an hour — joining rival Aldi as the UK's highest-paying supermarket. The basic rate, currently £12.75, will jump nationwide from September 1, rising to £13.95 with length of service. It marks Lidl's fifth pay rise in two years. The budget retailer increased hourly pay for 28,000 staff on April 1. The current national minimum wage of £12.21 could hit £12.86 next year. BOO BOSS CALL BOOHOO has been urged to suspend its chairman and founder for reportedly taking a cut of payments to settle a personal debt. The online fashion firm's Mahmud Kamani took a £100,000 cut from cash meant for a jeans supplier, The Telegraph has alleged. Mike Ashley's Frasers Group, which has a 29 per cent stake in Boohoo, wants an independent investigation. It comes amid increased friction in recent years between Mr Ashley and retail rival Mr Kamani. Mc-GONE-ALD'S BURGERS McDONALD'S has riled customers by quietly axing several fan-favourite items.

Government to raise business rates on properties valued over £500,000 from next year More than 100 large supermarket stores from Sainsbury's, Tesco, Morrisons and Asda could become unprofitable Aldi and Lidl largely unaffected due to smaller store sizes Treasury says the move will fund permanent tax cuts for smaller retail and hospitality sites Potential closures could reduce local shopping options and harm town centre trade Shoppers could soon see their local supermarket on the chopping block as sweeping changes to business rates threaten the viability of more than 100 big-name stores. Under government plans, business rates will rise for properties with a rateable value (the estimated annual rental value of a property )of more than £500,000 from next year. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The move is designed to help fund permanent tax cuts for smaller retail and hospitality outlets, But for large supermarkets, it could be the tipping point that pushes them into the red and renders them unprofitable. Which stores could be affected? Industry sources say the shake-up will hit several of the UK's biggest grocery chains hard, according to The Financial Times. (Photo:) | Getty Images Around 50 of Sainsbury's 600 larger stores are expected to become unprofitable, while 'tens' of Tesco locations could face the same fate. Morrisons reportedly has 30 of its almost 500 branches at risk, and as much as 90% of Asda's roughly 600-store estate will be impacted by the higher property tax. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad By contrast, discount retailers such as Aldi and Lidl are expected to be largely protected, as they tend to operate from smaller sites. Analysts at Colliers believe less than 10% of Lidl stores will be caught by the new threshold. Why are the changes being made? The Treasury says the changes are about creating a 'fairer business rates system' that protects the high street and encourages investment. The new lower rates for smaller sites will not be subject to a cash cap, unlike existing relief schemes. But for communities, the loss of a major supermarket could be a serious blow. Large grocery stores often act as an anchor for local shopping areas, drawing in customers for nearby businesses. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Closures could force residents to travel further for food shopping, reduce choice, and weaken local retail competition. Sainsbury's and Tesco remain in a strong position overall, reporting profits of £420 million and £1.2 billion last year respectively. But industry insiders warn that higher costs will add to the mounting pressures of rising wages, supply chain inflation, and other new taxes.
