Dear Mr Brown

Thank you for your information enquiry of the above reference number. Due to the nature of your request, it has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

I can confirm that with effect from 1 April 2019, the Council has paid the Scottish Local Government Living Wage of £9.07. This will increase to £9.34 with effect from 1 April 2020. South Ayrshire Council applies the Scottish Local Government Living Wage for all its workforce, regardless of length or type of contract. For any post which attracts an hourly rate of less than the Scottish Local Government Living Wage, the difference is paid as a pay supplement.

A request for a review must be submitted within 40 working days and should be put in writing to Deborah McVey, Information Governance Team Leader, South Ayrshire Council, County Buildings, Wellington Square, Ayr KA7 1DR, Tel: 01292 612223, Email: [South Ayrshire Council request email]. If you remain dissatisfied after a review, you have the right to apply to the Scottish Information Commissioner for a decision. This must be submitted within 6 months after the review and should be put in writing to the Scottish Information Commissioner at Kinburn Castle, Doubledykes Road, St. Andrews, Fife KY16 9DS, Tel: 01334 464610 Email: [email address] or use the online portal http://www.itspublicknowledge.info/YourR....
