Stirling Community Enterprise celebrates commitment to Real Living Wage

 

Our commitment will see everyone working at SCE receive a minimum hourly wage of £9.00 which is significantly higher than the government minimum for over 25s, which currently stands at £8.21 per hour.

Stirling Community Enterprise is based in Scotland, a region where nearly a fifth of all jobs (18%) pay less than the real Living Wage – around 404,000 jobs. Despite this, we have committed to pay the real Living Wage and deliver a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work

The real Living Wage is the only rate calculated according to the costs of living. It provides a voluntary benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a wage they can live on, not just the government minimum. Since 2011 the Living Wage movement has delivered a pay rise to over 160,000 people and put over £800m extra into the pockets of low paid workers.


Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that Stirling Community Enterprise has joined the movement of over 5,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.”

“They join thousands of small businesses, as well as household names such as IKEA, Heathrow Airport, Barclays, Chelsea and Everton Football Clubs and many more. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like SCE, believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.”
