The London Living Wage

A guide to the London Living Wage and its associated grant schemes and working parties.

Become a Living Wage Employer

To qualify as a Living Wage Employer, you'll need to:

  • pay the Living Wage to all directly employed staff
  • ensure contractors and sub-contractors (who provide regular services to your organisation on your premises) pay the Living Wage to staff 

The Living Wage Foundation offers support and advice on becoming an accredited Living Wage Employer.

We offer a Living Wage grant scheme to cover the costs of new accreditation for small employers.

Email southwarkbusinessdesk@southwark.gov.uk if you have any questions about how to become an accredited living wage employer.
