  • Wages costs rising

    REAL LIVING WAGE INCREASES TO £14.10 IN UK AND £15.45 IN LONDON

    1. the Living Wage Foundation raises the voluntary UK real Living Wage by 4.8% to £14.10/hour and the London rate by 4.4% to £15.45/hour, lifting the pay floor for nearly half a million workers
    2. accredited employers such as IKEA, Uniqlo and Everton FC must raise hourly pay for their lowest-paid UK staff, increasing direct labour costs
    3. higher entry-level pay improves retention and morale among accredited employers' workforces, partially offsetting the cost increase
    4. non-accredited UK SMEs competing for the same entry-level workers face upward pressure on their own wage bills or higher turnover, squeezing operating margins
