We are delighted to announce that Colas Rail UK is now an accredited Living Wage Employer! This means that every member of staff working for Colas Rail UK will earn a real Living Wage.

The real Living Wage is higher than the government’s minimum, or National Living Wage, and is an independently calculated hourly rate of pay that is based on the actual cost of living. It is calculated each year and is announced by the Living Wage Foundation as part of Living Wage Week. It is currently £12 in the UK, with a higher rate of £13.15 for London, reflecting the higher costs of living in the capital. Nearly 14,000 organisations, including [organisation name], voluntarily choose to pay the real Living Wage because we believe that a hard day’s work deserves a fair day’s pay.
