From today, every single member of the Manorview team, regardless of role, age or venue, will be paid the real Living Wage at a minimum.

All employees aged 23 and over will benefit from a 6.6% wage increase and a 13% increase for 21 and 22 year olds working within the business.

As we are committed to paying to every single member of the team the real Living Wage, for those aged 18-20 it is a significant increase of 45%, we hope this will make the lives of our young workforce better and encourage staff retention and performance. Under the new pay structure, under 18s will also be paid real Living Wage resulting in a 105% pay increase.

Lynn Anderson, Manager, Living Wage Scotland said:

“We’re delighted to welcome Manorview Hotels and Leisure Group to our network of over 2000 accredited Living Wage employers in Scotland. Good quality jobs with decent pay can improve recruitment and retention of a loyal and motivated workforce. We hope that more hospitality employers across Scotland follow the lead of Manorview in recognising the business benefit and social value of becoming an accredited Living Wage employer, helping ensure workers and their families have what they need to thrive.”

Peter Kelly, Director the Poverty Alliance said:

“Congratulations to Manorview Hotels and Leisure Group on their Living Wage accreditation. Too many workers in the hospitality industry are paid below the real Living Wage – around 60%, and Manorview’s Living Wage commitment is an important signal of leadership on seeking to tackle low pay in the industry. Payment of a real Living Wage allows workers to better meet their everyday needs and feel that their value and hard work is recognised by their employer. We hope more hospitality employers follow Manorview’s lead by becoming Living Wage accredited.”
