Why is this important?
The Living Wage is an hourly pay rate (currently £8.75) which is calculated for the Living Wage Foundation and updated every October.
The Living Wage is higher than the government's National Living Wage, which replaced the National Minimum Wage.
It is based on the cost of living and designed to ensure that employees and their families can live free from poverty. The real Living Wage is voluntarily paid by over 4,400 UK employers who believe a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay.
