The Black Antelope Group Celebrates Living Wage Commitment
The Living Wage Foundation is pleased to announce that The Black Antelope Group, has today been accredited as a Living Wage Employer.
Their Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at The Black Antelope Group, 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 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.
The Black Antelope Group has chosen to become a Living Wage accredited employer because it believes that each and every one of us has a social responsibility to try and tackle the inequities that exist in our society.
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 The Black Antelope Group 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 3700 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 The Black Antelope Group join us, because they too believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.”
