Select Surveys is proud to have become accredited as a Living Wage Employer. Our Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at Select Surveys receive a minimum hourly wage of £9.90, significantly higher than the government minimum for over 23s, which currently stands at £9.50 per hour.
As a company based in the South East, a region where over 12% of all jobs pay less than the real Living Wage, Select Surveys are committed to delivering 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 300,000 people and put over £1.6 billion extra into the pockets of low paid workers.
“We value every single one of our employees and want to do what we can to help with the rising cost of living. That’s why we are committing to give every member of staff – existing and new – a Real Living Wage.” – Select Surveys
Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that Select Surveys has joined the movement of almost 9,000 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 Burberry, Barclays, Everton Football Club and many more. These businesses recognise that paying the real Living Wage is the mark of a responsible employer and they believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.”
