Launched in 2012, the Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign aims to encourage local businesses to voluntarily pay all employees a decent hourly rate.
Set independently and updated annually the Living Wage is calculated according to the basic cost of living in the UK and is the amount that allows a person to live, rather than just survive. The new rate is announced every November during Living Wage week and businesses are given until 1st April to implement the new rate which is currently £8.75 per hour
Our aim is to support and encourage local businesses to voluntarily commit to paying their employees the Living Wage. If you are already paying the Living Wage you can sign up here to show your business’ commitment and then display a Brighton & Hove Living Wage logo on your premises, marketing materials and website. See here who has signed up already.
If you are not paying the Living Wage but would like to join the 420 businesses that currently do, please contact us here for advice and support.
"With essentials such as travel and energy costs continuing to rise above inflation, responsible employers ought to pay a living wage. It allows people to live not just survive. Signing up to the Living Wage Campaign is simply the right thing to do and I hope more employers see the benefits this will bring to…
Paying a living wage to our employees at Brighton Pavilions is really important to us. We believe our staff will be happier, more productive, and will deliver even better customer service to our guests. It’s simply the right thing to do.
We believe in a comfortable life for all and people being paid fairly for the hard work that they do. If companies would like to be the best then they should be offering fair and good wages as an incentive for their workforce to be the best.
"Brighton is a fantastic place to live. But we understand that it costs to live here. We want to keep our local economy (and businesses) buoyant by making it viable for people to work here rather than commute to London."
Fairness, integration, inclusiveness and mobility. These are fundamental aspects of our work and careers.
