Morrisons store and warehouse colleagues could see hourly pay rise to £13.11, if it is approved by union members.
After protracted negotiations, the supermarket – the last of the major grocers to announce a 2026 pay rise – has reached a pay agreement with union Usdaw.
Internal documents seen by The Grocer’s sister title Retail Week suggest Morrisons increased pay to £12.71 on 30 March, in line with the increase to the national living wage. However, it has reached a separate pay offer that could see pay increase to £13.11 over three tranches.
If union members approve the offer, customer assistant pay will increase to £12.81 an hour, backdated to 30 March.
On 20 July, the base rate for all hourly workers will rise to £13, and then finally to £13.11 on 26 October.
All eligible hourly staff would also get a one-off fixed payment of between £25 and £175 based on contractual hours paid on 29 May.
Usdaw members are currently balloting over the pay offer. The ballot will close on 6 May.
Morrisons confirmed the pay agreement, however would not be commenting further as the ballot is still ongoing.
