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 £9.30 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 609 businesses that currently do, please contact us here for advice and support.
We have brilliant staff and believe that if the business is going to be great the staff have to be fairly paid.
We support Living Wage because we believe it is important that people are paid a fair and just wage that will allow them to live a reasonably comfortable life. We also believe that if you value your staff with good wages they will become the strongest asset of your business.
Giving everyone a good living wage means everyone in our community is better off. We firmly believe the world and economy will be much better if everyone receives a good living wage. No matter what the work, it's only fair people receive a good hourly rate for their work.
"The Travel and Tourism industry is notoriously low paid, but Travel Nation and Rickshaw Travel are successful companies and we like to look after our staff. We also provide free daily lunches and a wide range of other benefits too."
At CPS we believe in our five core values of: People; Expertise; Integrity; Customer Service; and Efficiency. Ensuring all our staff are paid fairly is at the heart of these values.
