Lidl also no employee currently working for them will receive less than this rate even though the vast majority of its staff currently recieve a higher rate.
We’re pleased to be the first supermarket in Ireland to commit to a €11.90 minimum hourly rate for our employees, in line with the latest ‘Living Wage’! The change will benefit 16% of employees, while all other employees working in Lidl already earn in excess of the Living Wage. pic.twitter.com/9zgaejMFlw
