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 £9.00 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 483 businesses that currently do, please contact us here for advice and support.
"At CrowCreation we support the Living Wage because we don't want our employees worrying about paying for their lunch when they should be worrying about changing the world ;-)"
"We know that what we do as an organisation is only possible because of the skills, commitment and enthusiasm of our staff, as well as that of our volunteers. We work hard to reward and recognise both and making a public commitment to the living wage is just one way we try to do this."
I believe that our CAREGivers provide a valuable service to our clients and should be recognised and respected for the important role that they have in delivering high quality care.
"Brighton & Hove is definitely “the place to be” but this is an expensive part of the UK to live in. The Living Wage Campaign and its aims are worth signing up for as it sets a more sustainable hourly rate which reflects the economic realities of living in our city."
We want to be an employer of choice, somewhere people want to come to work, do well and feel like they’re having a direct impact on the company’s success. We want to make our employees and sub-contractors feel valued and respected and feel that offering the living wage is one of the ways that we can achieve…
