We are proud to announce that ISBA is an accredited Living Wage Employer. This shows our commitment to pay the real Living Wage to directly employed staff and third party contracted staff.
The real Living Wage is higher than the government’s minimum, or National Living Wage, and is an independently calculated hourly rate of pay that is based on the actual cost of living. It is calculated each year and is announced by the Living Wage Foundation as part of Living Wage Week. It is currently £9.00 in the UK, with a higher rate of £10.55 for London, reflecting the higher costs of living in the capital.
Over 4,700 organisations, including ISBA, voluntarily choose to pay the real Living Wage because we believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.
