Guidelines for determining the salary figure for lay posts
Sample guidelines for determining the salary figure for lay posts
The rates are announced by the Living Wage Foundation annually in Autumn (normally October). Employers are expected to implement the rise within six months. Therefore all lay employees should be receiving the new rates by 1st May. You may wish to check the Living Way Foundation website and social media channels for future updates.
As long as Lay Employees’ salaries are based on this pay scale, any subsequent uplift to the pay scale on a yearly basis will be the decision of relevant budget holders.
There is no mechanism for increments or uplifts to this scale other than adjusting the amount for the Living Wage. Each employing body can apply its own cost of living increase according to affordability and sustainability.
