According to a report by Eco, Jerónimo Martins, the company that owns Pingo Doce and Recheio, will increase entry salaries of employees by between 7% and 25%, representing an investment of €22 million and covering around 26,000 employees.
Lidl is also preparing to invest €7.5 million in salaries, with an estimated average increase of 3% in the German chain's salaries, a figure that adds up to €5 million in the increase in part-time staff hours. Sonae MC and Mercadona have not advance amounted, but admit there will be a salary update for 2022.
Perhaps the increase in salaries will encourage Lidl's staff to work for the benefit of it's customers when they see a dozen or more queing at the only open till of the five available they will consider opening another instead of replenishing the shelves, an exercise that should be completed before opening!
