小欧视频 will pay all of its employees a minimum of 拢10 per hour from 1 November 2021.

This follows constructive talks and negotiations between the 小欧视频 and Unite the Union, which had highlighted the challenges faced by its lowest-paid staff. 

This will impact on approximately 400 employees across the 小欧视频 who were previously paid a minimum of 拢9.50 per hour, in line with the rate recommended by the Living Wage Foundation. 

Ian Wright, Director of HR for the 小欧视频 of Sheffield, said: 鈥淲e would like to thank our colleagues in Unite for highlighting the challenges faced by our lowest-paid staff and for working with us constructively to find an immediate solution to this pressing issue, as well as their commitment to work with us and other campus trade unions to develop a long-term solution.鈥

Chris Rawlinson, Unite branch secretary, said: 鈥淭he 小欧视频鈥檚 commitment to ensure it pays its staff a minimum of 拢10 per hour is an excellent outcome for our members. We are pleased that we have been able to work with the 小欧视频 to achieve this.鈥

The 小欧视频 has also committed to working with all of its campus trade unions to address issues of low pay in the long-term. This will include reviewing its pay grades, looking at how it maintains the minimum hourly rate of 拢10 and ensuring that there are opportunities for progression for colleagues on the lowest grade points.
