One of West Aucklandâs largest employers, the Trusts, will move its entire workforce to a living wage.
The move is set to benefit more than 305 staff across the organisationâs 35 retail stores, hospitality venues and hotels.
The first stage of the introduction of the living wage to take effect in April 2021, will see a new minimum wage rate of $20.75 per hour, which is 75 cents above the governmentâs new minimum wage level, with all waged employees who currently earn above the minimum wage also receiving an increase of $1.35 per hour.
Linda Cooper, president of the Waitakere Licensing Trust says the move will set a new standard for the hospitality industry.
