Pay Up! Pay the Real Living Wage now.
At present, the national minimum wage is up to £7.50 an hour. This is the statutory amount employers must pay. However, this does not take into account the true cost of living. The Living Wage Foundation has calculated that the real living wage is £8.45 in the UK and £9.75 in London.
This is paid from the age of 18. It is time for the Government to pay up! Pay all employees the real living wage.
