The pledge means that IPM has agreed to pay staff at least £11.27 per hour – a figure taking into account the cost of living, taxes, and the value of benefits available to working people on low incomes.
The Living Wage campaign is run by Caritas Jersey, a local charity, who are licensed by the Living Wage Foundation in the UK to manage and co-ordinate the promotion of a ‘Living Wage’ in Jersey.
Jennifer Bridge, The Jersey Living Wage Campaign Team Leader, said: “Jersey Living Wage welcomes Independent Project Management (IPM) Ltd as an accredited Living Wage employer; recognising them as a business that values the contribution of all employees. Whether working for or doing business with IPM, you know that you are dealing with a company that pays the Living Wage.”
David Mason, the Director of IPM, said: “IPM are delighted to be accredited as a Living Wage employer. The wage set, which is above minimum, enables a much more realistic living standard for our island community.”
