Tesco Ireland has announced a substantial €16 million investment in salary increments for its workforce. Starting from January 1, 2024, more than 12,000 employees, including customer assistants, warehouse operatives, and grocery home shopping delivery drivers, will enjoy a minimum 4 percent increase in their hourly pay.
