Tesco has awarded chief executive Dave Lewis an annual bonus of nearly £3m (€3.8m), according to sources.

Staff at the Central Bank who are members of the trade union Unite are to vote on a motion of no confidence in senior management.

Pensioners, carers, the disabled and those on long-term welfare will be among those who receive the partially reinstated Christmas bonus in the next fortnight.

Thousands of Sports Direct workers will share in a £150m bonus scheme after the retailer posted a surge in profits, but cut current year targets after admitting expansion plans had fallen short.
