Discount supermarket Lidl has promised 19,000 workers - including Scots - a pay rise coming in next March.
The German grocer said it will increase entry-level pay from £9.00 to £9.30 an hour outside of London and £10.55 to £10.75 within London, going up to £11.70, depending on location and length of service.
This is a total combined rise of £10million and will take wages to between 13-30 per cent higher than the Government’s current National Living Wage, the Mirror reports.
Lidl GB chief executive Christian Härtnagel said: "During this time of such uncertainty, we feel fortunate to be able to make this investment in our colleagues, and give them peace of mind with regards to their salary.
"Our hourly paid employees represent over 80% of our entire workforce, and are the absolute backbone of our business. It is because of them that we continue to be the fastest supermarket, and are able to realise our ambitious expansion plans.
"This move is, therefore, testament to the unwavering commitment that each and every one of them puts into their work on a daily basis."
The new wages, will come into effect in March 2020, and will align with the rates advocated by the Living Wage Foundation to reflect the cost of living.
Lidl currently has 770 stores across Great Britain and this month confirm a target of 1,000 stores by the end of 2023.
