Currys is to increase the minimum pay rate for hourly paid staff in the UK by 5.2% to £10 per hour.

In addition, staff working in London will see their pay rise to £11.05 per hour.

Due to take effect from 1 August 2022, the uplift follows Currys’ previous commitment to increase base pay for hourly paid staff in line with 2021 Real Living Wage rates back in October. The company has invested nearly £25 million back into colleague training, wellbeing, and rewards and this latest move will take pay rates above the the £9.90 Real Living Wage.
