Paying at the "Real living wage"
As a business we pay at the Real Living Wage (as opposed to the lesser National Living Wage) as a minimum. We are keen to encourage payment of cleaning teams at the RLW, which in our experience has helped us to attract and retain good quality employees who are invested in their work.
