The Living Wage is a voluntary, higher rate of base pay. It provides a benchmark for responsible employers who choose to pay their employees a rate that meets the cost of living throughout the UK and London. It is higher than the government’s National Minimum Wage rates because it is calculated according to the cost of living.
The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate based on the actual cost of living and it is voluntarily paid by businesses who believe their staff deserve a wage which meets their everyday needs.
Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said, “Futures Supplies are one of thousands of small businesses, as well as household names such as Burberry, Barclays, Everton Football Club and many more responsible employers who voluntarily go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer.
At Futures Supplies we believe not only is it more socially responsible to invest in our employees by paying them the real London Living Wage, we believe it also contributes to ensuring our staff are happy, motivated and deliver the best possible service to our valued customers.
