The workers getting a pay rise from today as Real Living Wage goes up
Starting today, almost 400,000 workers will receive a pay boost after the government brought forward increases to the voluntary Real Living Wage.
The rate will be payable to anyone over the age of 18 - constituting around 390,000 workers. The wage will be based on what a full-time worker and their family require to make ends meet and factors in costs of food, clothing, and the average household bills, the Mirror reports.It is separate from the National Living Wage - which currently stands at £9.50 and is for anyone aged 23 and over.
“We know that the Living Wage is good for employers as well as workers, that's why the real living wage must continue to be at the heart of solutions to tackle the cost-of-living crisis."
