Surely having a 30 hour a week contract at £6 an hour, rather than a zero hour contract at £9 an hour would be much more beneficial to the employee AND the company, especially a small business.

My employer pays the living wage...but our pay rise is in April so effectively I work for less than the living wage for 6 months of the year then 6 months above the living wage until it goes up again next November, when I will then be below living wage again. Its a huge con.

The NLW or the living wage foundation?


NLW will increase, as previously by around 25p


Living wage foundation (or whatever they call it) will say £12, which obviously wont happen.
