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 470 businesses that currently do, please contact us here for advice and support.
"Enterprise Exchange specialises in helping people with additional barriers into self employment, therefore an initiative like the Living Wage that supports the ability for people to have a life not just an existence, underpins our key aspirations for our clients."
We support the Living Wage Campaign and always pay more than this whether part-time, intern or any other employee because it is the right thing to do. The living wage is barely enough for people today and so we have committed to paying more than that to all of our employees.
“We believe in working to live NOT living to work. No employer has the right to control their staff by forcing low wages on people. We love our cleaners to be motivated and happy. A happy workforce means happy clients! Resulting in a better company! We aim to grow in size so we can offer…
We believe that our staff are our greatest asset and being part of the Living Wage Campaign ensures that we meet the correct wage requirements for our staff.
We ensure that investment in our employees ongoing learning and professional development is an absolute priority. Part of this includes paying our staff well above the living wage.
