		</div><p>John Lewis has become the latest shop to reward its staff a bonus working through the coronavirus pandemic.</p>
<p>All frontline workers at the department store and Waitrose supermarkets will get an extra £25 for each week they work in April and May.</p>
<p>The discount at Waitrose for all employees across both shops has also been increased from 15% to 25% and will remain at 20% after <a href="https://londonglossy.com/coronavirus-start-of-uk-peak-expected-soon-as-sixth-death-confirmed/">Covid-19 has peaked</a>, the company say.</p>
<p>These new rewards follow a 2% bonus that was handed to all staff last month.</p>
<p>John Lewis has closed its high-street shops, but is still operating online.</p>
<p>Sharon White, chairman of the John Lewis Partnership said staff <em>“have made significant sacrifices to ensure that we are able to continue to serve and support our customers.</em></p>
<p><em>“The measures that we have announced today are in recognition of their hard work and commitment and are part of a wider package of support available to help partners during this extraordinary time.”</em></p>
<p>Supermarkets dealt with record levels of demand in March, according to figures released earlier this week.</p>
<p>Grocery sales rose by 20.6% in the last four weeks, and 7.6% in the last 12 and one expert said shops have been even busier than at Christmas.</p>
<p>They are passing on profits to employees, with staff at Morrisons have been told to expect a £1,000 bonus as their earnings will be topped up by 6% over the next 12 months.</p>
<p>This means an extra £1,050 for full time employees, including those who have been sick or are self-isolating, and new hires who have been taken on to deal with the extraordinary demand.</p>

<p>Ocado has said that staff will be given a 10% bonus on all hours they work from March 23 <em>“while the crisis continues”</em>.</p>
<p>Aldi, Sainsbury’s and Tesco have all echoed the 10% pledge and Asda has promised an extra week’s pay in June.</p>
