Employment practices in line with the Living Wage
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for information relating to your employment practices. I would like to know the following:
1. As of August 2022, the exact lowest hourly wage paid by the college to permanent or temporary employees, over the age of 18, who are not trainees or apprentices, not including holiday pay or benefits.
2. As of August 2022, the exact lowest hourly wage paid by the college to casual workers (including those on zero-hour contracts, if applicable), over the age of 18, who are not trainees or apprentices, not including holiday pay or benefits.
3. As of August 2022, the number of workers (employees or casual workers), if any, in the college who are over the age of 18 and paid below £9.90 per hour.
4. As of August 2022, the number of workers (employees or casual workers), if any, in the college who are over the age of 18 and paid over £80,000 annually.
5. As of August 2022, the percentage of workers (employees or casual workers) in the college in non-academic/administrative positions who are over the age of 18 and paid below £9.90 per hour.
6. As of August 2022, is the college currently in the process of gaining accreditation from the Living Wage Foundation?
7. The Real Living Wage for 2022, set by the Living Wage Foundation, is set to be announced in September. What plans or timeline does the college have for increasing pay in line with this?
8. If the college uses any external employment agencies to provide staff, the number of contracted staff who worked 2 or more hours a day, in any day of the week, for 12 or more consecutive weeks, in the year prior to August 2022, who were paid below £9.90 per hour.
If you are to invoke Section 43 to withhold information in relation to any of these questions please note you must provide details of the exact FOIA exemption, details of who would be prejudiced by this information, and a public interest test justifying a conclusion with arguments for and against the release of the information.
Thank you very much for your assistance with this request. If you would like any clarification on the information I have asked for, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to receiving your response in the next 20 working days.
Yours faithfully,
Daisy Thomas
