Employers

A Living Wage Employer ensures that all employees are paid at least the Living Wage. This includes individuals who work on a regular basis at your premises for a subcontractor, such as cleaners or security staff. 

Living Wage employers report improved morale, lower turn over of staff, reduced absenteeism, increased productivity and improved customer service. 

Between them, the employers in London who commit to paying a Living Wage have lifted more than 10,000 families out of working poverty. Over 140 employers from every sector are now paying a living wage. 

The Living Wage Employer mark recognises and celebrates this leadership. The accreditation process is simple and is open to employers already paying the living wage, or those committed to an agreed timetable of implementation.

Accredited Living Wage Employers are recognised at the annual Living Wage Awards, hosted in 2010 by KPMG and the Mayor of London.
