What is the Living Wage?
The real Living Wage is the only wage rate that is proven to cover everyday needs, from grocery shopping to an emergency dentist appointment. It’s higher than the minimum wage and the national living wage that are set by the government. The rate is independently calculated based on what people need to live on and a new rate is released every year. Accredited companies must implement the new rate within a six-month timeframe.
Who gets the Living Wage?
At ReAgent, we pay the Living Wage to permanent, temporary, part-time, and contract staff.
Why pay the real Living Wage?
Paying the real Living Wage is completely voluntary. Employers like ReAgent choose to pay it because we believe that our employees deserve to earn enough to cover all the essentials of day-to-day life. It’s not only the right thing to do for our employees (as you can see from the video below), but we see it as an investment in our staff over the long-term. We also believe that good compensation at a good company will mean we provide a good customer experience, too.
