Living Wage Employer

January 11, 2022
by admin123 0

We are delighted to announce that we have been accredited as a Living Wage Employer.

Their Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at Special People receive a minimum hourly wage of London Living Wage, significantly higher than the government minimum for over 23s.

Special People are based in London, a region where nearly a fifth of all jobs (17.2%) pay less than the real Living Wage – around 700,000 jobs. Despite this, we have committed to pay the real Living Wage and deliver a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work.

The real Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum. Since 2011 the Living Wage movement has delivered a pay rise to over 300,000 people and put over £1.6 billion extra into the pockets of low paid workers.

Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that Special People has joined the movement of almost 9,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.

“They join thousands of other businesses. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like Special People, believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.”
