Construction contractor Galliford Try has joined the ranks of 11,000 employer organisations that support the Living Wage Foundation鈥檚 campaign.
Currently the statutory minimum wage is 拢9.18 per hour for those aged 21 and over and the national living wage is 拢9.50 for those over 23. The real living wage, set by the Living Wage Foundation, is 拢10.90 for anyone over 18, rising to 拢11.95 in London.
Galliford Try said that from November, no employee would get less than the real living wage.
Chief executive Bill Hocking said: 鈥淒oing the right thing is at the very core of our people-orientated and values-driven approach, and we are proud to have paid our people in line with the real living wage rates since 2020. Implementing the uplift is the latest of several recent initiatives we have put in place that recognise the rising cost of living households across the UK are facing, and offers additional support to our people where we can.鈥�
