We Are a Real Living Wage Employer
Step Up has been a proud Real Living Wage Employer since 2017.
We believe that everyone is entitled to earn a fair wage that can be lived on. Being a real Living Wage Employer is a voluntary act and we are so pleased to be a part of the movement that provides an ethical benchmark for responsible pay. This means we can reward and recognise all the hard work of our staff with a true understanding of the cost of living.
How is it Calculated?
The real Living Wage is independently calculated from the government minimum wage. Basing calculations off what wage employees and their families truly need to live on. We are proud to apply this to everyone aged over 18.
Why is it Important?
20.3% of workers in the UK still don’t receive the real living wage. So, here at Step Up we hope to help in extending this movement towards all workers in the UK to receive a fair wage. We will be taking part in the national Living Wage Week campaign to highlight the movement, follow our socials and that of the real Living Wage to get involved too!
The current announcement states that the new rates from April are £9.50ph over the UK, and London at £10.85ph. Please join us in celebrating the movement to ensure all workers can benefit.
