Staff at
Tesco are set to benefit from the largest payout in UK corporate history when
two of its Save As You Earn schemes mature.
More than
33,000 staff, who have been saving between £10 and £250 a month, will receive a
share of £123m as a result of the scheme.
Tesco claims
the return on their investment will be between 90 per cent and 250 per cent.
The most
recent three and five year scheme to be launched last year attracted a record
number of employees, with over 66,000 Tesco staff joining up.
