What is a Living Wage Employer?

The Living Wage Employer award recognises ethical employment and ethical procurement practice.

It means that all staff are able to live with dignity and provide a decent standard of living for their families.

A Living Wage Employer recognises the responsibility it has for all the people it employs (directly or indirectly) and makes sure they are paid a Living Wage with fair employment conditions.

This means making sure that all staff, including contracted support staff, are paid at least the Living Wage (currently set at £7.60 per hour)
