Tesco Ireland has announced that it will be giving a pay bonus to staff 'for going above and beyond during Covid-19'. The supermarket giant announced today that it will be adding 10pc to the hourly rate for staff in Ireland. "Over the last two weeks Tesco colleagues across Ireland have worked round the clock to help customers get the products that they need," they said. "The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented increase in demand for food and household products in stores and online across Ireland." "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 serve Ireland’s shoppers during these uncertain and difficult times."
