Abstract
Health and social care meals supplier, apetito and home delivery service, Wiltshire Farm Foods have started paying staff the increased real Living Wage, four months before the company is obliged to do so.
The real Living Wage is calculated based on what employees and their families need to live and is a voluntary scheme that apetito signed up to as part of the company’s commitment to make a difference to both staff and consumers.
Paul Freeston, chief executive, apetito UK, said: “Supporting the accredited Living Wage is quite simply the right way to do business; it improves our employees’ quality of life, but also benefits our business and society as a whole.”
From April 2017, accredited Living Wage Foundation employers will pay their staff at least the new voluntary real Living Wage rate of £8.45 per hour outside of London (£9.75 within London).
