Most of the UK top 20 firms are officially credited as paying the Living Wage after the scheme was endorsed by the Law Society in 2013.
Employers can choose to pay the real living wage, which this week was moved to £9.75 per hour for London and £8.45 per hour for the rest of the UK on a voluntary basis. This compares with the government’s current living wage which is £7.20 per hour.
