Tesco extends 10% pay bonus for staff for 'going above and beyond' in current pandemic

Tesco has announced they are extending their 10% pay bonus for all staff in recognition of their "incredible effort" in the current Coronavirus crisis.

Last month the supermarket company announced employees would be rewarded with a 10% bonus on the hourly rate for hours worked to colleagues across its stores, distribution centres and customer engagement centres.

Today, Tesco confirmed they would be extending the bonus scheme for a further four weeks in recognition of staff working 'round the clock to help customers get the products that they need'.

Jason Tarry, UK and ROI CEO said: “It’s been an extraordinary couple of weeks and despite the enormous challenges, it’s been incredible to see how colleagues have stepped up and responded, doing an outstanding job during this uncertain and difficult time.

"This pay bonus is just one way we are saying thank you to our colleagues and recognising that they are on the front line, helping to feed the nation.”
