The Tippling House and parent company 10 Dollar Shake has been accredited as a Living Wage employer. The Living Wage commitment will see everyone working at The Tippling House and 10 Dollar Shake events receive a minimum hourly wage of £12 per hour.
Adrian Gomes, Managing Director of 10 Dollar Shake says he’s ‘delighted to recognise the hard work and invaluable contribution of the team’. “The reality is most of our entry-level team members were already on an hourly rate which surpasses the Living Wage but we wanted to ensure that we could attract talent, as well as retain it, and I feel this official accreditation will help us do that.”
Peter Kelly, Director of The Poverty Alliance said, “We all need an income that is enough to cover our needs and protect us from poverty, and it’s only right that employers pay a wage that reflects the cost of living. Too many workers in Scotland are paid less than the real Living Wage and, at a time of rising costs, are struggling to stay afloat. The real Living Wage can offer protection from those rising costs.”
“Congratulations to 10 Dollar Shake on their Living Wage commitment, and I hope more organisations follow their lead by becoming Living Wage accredited.”
