LCL Celebrates Living Wage Commitment
09 Nov 2017The Living Wage Foundation is pleased to announce that Logic Certification, has today accredited as a Living Wage employer.
Their Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at Logic Certification, regardless of whether they are direct employees or third-party contracted staff; receive a minimum hourly wage of £8.75 in the UK or £10.20 in London.
Both of these rates are significantly higher than the statutory minimum for over 25s of £7.50 per hour introduced in April 2017.
The real Living Wage is an hourly rate set independently and updated annually. The Living Wage is calculated according to the real costs of living.
Mark Krull, director of Logic Certification said:
"We are always striving to be a better business for our customers and in our experience that starts with being a better employer.
Paying a living wage is both the right and fair thing to do for our business and customers."
Employers choose to pay the real Living Wage on a voluntary basis. The Living Wage enjoys cross-party political support.
Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said:
“We welcome Logic Certification to the Living Wage movement as an accredited employer.
“Responsible businesses across the UK are voluntarily signing up to pay the real Living Wage now. The real Living Wage rate is annually calculated to reflect the real costs of living.”
“We are a movement of over 3,600 UK employers who together want to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on. We have lots of small businesses as well as big household names like; IKEA, Aviva, Chelsea and Everton Football Clubs and many more.
These businesses recognise that the Living Wage accreditation is the mark of a responsible employer and they, like Logic Certification join us, because they too believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay."
