What: M&S is set to increase their minimum wage by more-than-5% and add other benefits including access to an online GP service, health check screening, and advice on financial management.
Why is it important: At the beginning of April, more than 40,000 staff in the UK will see their base rate of pay increase by GBP 0.50 an hour to GBP 10, with rates in London rising to GBP 11.25 from GBP 10.75.
This will put M&S workers just ahead of the new legal minimum wage of £9.50 an hour for those aged 23 and over.
