Liverpool FC has been presented official accreditation by the Living Wage Foundation, further to announcing its commitment to pay the real Living Wage.
The voluntary commitment sees directly employed staff, including casual workers over the age of 18, receive a minimum hourly wage of £8.75 in the UK (or £10.20 in London) - a rate significantly higher than the national minimum wage for over 25s of £7.83 per hour introduced in April 2018.
As part of LFC’s commitment, the club will also work with its third-party agencies and suppliers to implement the Living Wage over the next three years, ensuring all those working for the club via third-party suppliers are guaranteed to be paid the real Living Wage if they are not already receiving it, bringing them in line with the Living Wage Foundation’s recommended rates.
