Britain's supermarkets have become embroiled in a pay war as they fight to retain staff and fill vacancies. As workers face higher bills for food and energy, the grocers are upping pay and offering enhanced staff discounts to ease the pressure. It is the first of the UK's big four supermarkets to pay the Real Living Wage and London Living Wage. Sainsbury's pays the Real Living Wage of £10 an hour across the country and the London Living Wage of £11.05 – but only in central rather than outer London. Staff in outer London will benefit from the 55p hourly pay rise from next month.
