Voluntary rate of £8.61 put forward
An MHK wants the government to set an early example by committing to pay its staff a living wage.
Tynwald yesterday (17 Oct) agreed to receive a report on proposals to introduce a non-mandatory rate of £8.61 an hour
Policy and Reform Minister Chris Thomas will now establish an independent body to get the initiative off the ground.
Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper says it shouldn't take long to lead the way on a living wage:
