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 423 businesses that currently do, please contact us here for advice and support.
We have always voluntarily paid the Living wage but we have chosen to support the Living Wage Campaign as a demonstration to other businesses and encourage others to become part of the project. It is important to raise the profile of the campaign and in doing so support the wider community.
"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."
We are extremely proud of our dedicated team at Clarity. They are our most important asset and we will always put them first. Brighton and Hove is a vibrant, exciting and thriving city and we are lucky to be based here, but we are acutely aware that it is also an expensive place to live.…
It's a good idea and we support it.
We support the Living Wage Campaign in the effort to offer our employees a sustainable role with our company. It is important to us that every member of Neon Rocks is treated fairly.
