London Living Wage
The London Living Wage is an hourly rate of pay, currently set at £13.85. It is calculated independently to reflect the higher cost of living in the capital, giving a worker in London and their family enough to afford the essentials and to save.
However, organisations must choose to pay their employees the London Living Wage - higher than what they're required to pay by law.
This is why the Mayor is championing the benefits of the Living Wage - to the lives of Londoners and to your business - and encouraging employers to opt in.
