Kingdom Security Litter Enforcement Staff Employment Terms and Conditions

The request was successful.

Dear Ashford Borough Council,

Is the Council aware that in order for Kingdom staff to receive the Living wage in Ashford, they have to agree to pay £20 per month to Kingdom or they will be placed on minimum wage? In addition, staff are unpaid for training and have to purchase their own uniform which is deducted from their salary.

Ashford prides itself on being a living Wage employer yet allows this practice with an already controversial contractor.

Yours faithfully,

O.Dove
