Aldi has confirmed a second pay rise this year for thousands of staff as the cost of living crisis continues.
The hourly rate is rising to 12.66 an hour for “warehouse selectors” - the most common role at its distribution centres.
Aldi says this means all hourly-paid warehouse workers will have received pay rises of up to 9% on their January 2022 rates.
Around 4,200 logistics workers will benefit from the increase from September.
All warehouse employees will also see their night premium payments increase from 20% to 25% when they work unsociable hours.

It comes after Aldi confirmed it was increasing pay for roughly 26,000 store colleagues.
Retail workers will see their pay rise to 10.50 an hour nationally, or to 11.95 for those working inside the M25, also from September.
Aldi has more than 970 stores and 11 regional distribution centres across Britain.
Giles Hurley, chief executive officer of Aldi UK and Ireland, said: “This announcement recognises the amazing contribution our logistics colleagues make in serving communities across the country.
“We’re also pleased to be able to increase the night premium we pay to our many colleagues who work so hard to keep our stores well-stocked.
“Their outstanding efforts help ensure that our customers continue to have access to fresh affordable food, every single day.”
