Dear Ms Thomas,

Re: Freedom of Information request - Employment practices in line with the
Living Wage

I refer to your e-mail below dated 3 August 2022, the contents of which
are noted.  The response on behalf of Clare College regarding your request
for information made under the Freedom of Information Act 2020 is as

permanent or temporary employees, over the age of 18, who are not trainees
or apprentices, not including holiday pay or benefits.

£9.90.

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.

£9.90.

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.

0-5.

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

This information is exempt under section 40(2) of the Act. 

6. As of August 2022, is the college currently in the process of gaining
accreditation from the Living Wage Foundation?

This information is not held.

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?

This information is not held.

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.

0-5.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the request, please request
an internal review of the decision.  If, after following those procedures
you are still not satisfied with the way in which your request has been
dealt with you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision.  Generally, the Commissioner will not entertain your complaint
unless you have exhausted any relevant internal review procedures.

Yours sincerely,

Emma Easterbrook
