Our response to the news that the Government will change remit of the Low Pay Commission.
Katherine Chapman, Director of the Living Wage Foundation, said: “It's great to hear that the minimum wage will, for the first time, take into account living costs. We look forward to working with the Low Pay Commission and Government on how this can be taken forward and effectively work alongside our real Living Wage rates. The real Living Wage remains the only wage rate based solely on the cost of living, and we encourage all employers who want to show leadership on low pay to join the growing movement of over 15,000 Living Wage Employers.”
