Marks & Spencer staff to share £80m bonus pot

Marks & Spencer (M&S) staff will share an £80m bonus pot after the retailer reported exceeding targets on sales.

All M&S staff will share the payout but details have yet to be released, according to a trading update for the three months to the end of March.

Cash bonus payments will be brought forward in response to the new 50% tax rate on incomes over £150,000, the Daily Telegraph has reported.
