Tesco will keep Sunday premiums in place for staff who joined the company before 24 July 2022, but the rate will be reduced from 25% to 17%. Tesco UK and Ireland CEO Jason Tarry said: “For the second year in a row, we have made a record single-year investment in base pay for our colleagues.
If not already included in the rate of pay, an employee is generally entitled to paid time off in lieu or a premium payment for Sunday working.

Only long-serving staff (those employed before July 1999) received double time payments for these shifts.

In accordance with provisions of the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 a premium payment will apply to Sunday working. Section 14 of the Act specifies the means by which the premium should be granted.
However, most will require an employer to pay at least 150% (time and a half rate) of the normal base wage for work performed on a Saturday and 200% (double time) for employees who perform work on a Sunday.
A worker cannot be made to work on Sundays unless they agreed it with their employer and put it in writing (for example, changed the contract). Employers only have to pay staff more for working on Sundays if it has been agreed as part of the contract.
Minimum contract is 16 hours a week which is good for guaranteeing decent level of pay even if part time. 25% Sunday and Bank Holiday premium (reduced to 17% as of April 2023) — only for colleagues who started before July 2022. Tesco matches pension contributions up to 7.5%.
There is always lots of overtime. They have fewer staff than they need, therefore you will be expected to do a lot of overtime, that when you are sick or need time off will not be reflected in sick/holiday pay. In my store it was common for new hires to get 8 hour contracts and be working 40 hour weeks consistently.
