Have your say in our latest readers’ poll. Earlier this month, Employee Benefits reported that Tesco Ireland will invest more than €18 million (£15.7 million) in pay and benefits for its employees in 2026.
From 1 January 2026, all hourly-paid store and distribution employees will receive a 3% pay rise. This will bring the average hourly rate to €18.13 (£15.83).
In light of this, will your organisation give staff a pay rise for 2026?
