The new rate will be effective from the 1st February 2019.

Aldi has been Ireland’s highest paying supermarket for over a decade with store employees earning up to €14.00 per hour in Ireland.  Aldi has a clearly defined career path for store employees and many have progressed from Store Assistant through to Store Manager. It plans to recruit over 500 new staff across the country in 2019.
