Lidl will increase its minimum wage to 4650 Swiss francs in 2026, slightly surpassing Aldi's offering. This 1.5 percent wage increase benefits most of Lidl's 5000 Swiss employees. Lidl also uniquely avoids pension fund coordination deductions for all staff. Competitors like Migros and Coop offer lower minimum wages, though they emphasize broader employee benefits. The retail sector faces ongoing competition for staff.
