Morrison’s to pay £10 per hour

[Mazbar]

So the headlines is morrisons is to pay £10 per hour. The only problem is some staff will get less pay. With the announcement they said they where replacing the yearly bonus that could be worth 3%. Each store gets a mystery shopper each month and if they pass they get 0.25% so 3 over the year for good ones. Is you are a rubbish store the staff will get a pay increase but if you are a good store and your staff are good then you will get a pay cut. So don’t always believe the headlines

Even at £10 an hour it’s still not a great wage for shift work including weekends and bank holidays (plus the covid risk). So 40 hours a week is £20,800 a year less tax national insurance, pension contribution. I do appreciate how hard many supermarket staff work and often dealing with ungrateful people who get stroppy because they can’t fill their trolley up with toilet rolls

having a confirmed amount in your pay is far better than relying on everyone to work to a high standard to please a mystery shopper.

Morrisons said for the majority of its workers the pay increase will be approximately 9%.

Part of the increase will result from changing the company's annual bonus scheme from a discretionary yearly payment into a guaranteed amount in workers' hourly rates.

It will boost the weekly pay of someone working 36.75 hours a week from £330.10 to £367.50.

Union members still need to approve the deal. The result will be announced on 12 February and, if accepted, the new rates will be paid from 5 April 2021.

I agree

I thought it was a joke

All supermarket shop workers deserve a lot more than that - especially at the moment. I seriously thought they would be on 150% of that ie £15 an hour or more. Kudos to them for turning up to work for under £10 an hour - I am not sure I would at the moment (being honest - its under the London living wage amount )

I think my son gets nearly £10 a hour at Asda, he can do lots of overtime if he wants. I think Asda are great two years running he’s had the whole of Christmas, New Years off and went back on the 3rd Jan. All his co workers know Christmas means a lot to him so they all cover his shifts so he can eat rubbish and PlayStation and watch films!

The average contracted amount of hours worked in store is 16. Full time work disappeared to reduce NI costs for the employer!

Relying on everyone to work to a high standard benefit the store and the customers. If there is no incentive to work to a high standard then watch standard fall.
