Applications for this year’s Living Wage Scotland Awards are now open!

Living Wage Scotland has announced a celebration of the Living Wage network and employers who have gone the extra mile by supporting their employees and the wider Living Wage movement.

Living Wage Scotland wants to connect with accredited employers who have made an impact by encouraging others to accredit as Living Wage employers, by working in their local area to tackle in-work poverty or by actively promoting its Living Wage status in a range of forms.

This year there will be six categories businesses can apply for, including a brand-new Living Hours Award for those employers who have extended its Living Wage commitment to also cover security of hours by accrediting as a Living Hours employer.

The categories are:

• Living Wage Scotland Employee Choice Award 2022
• Living Wage Scotland Trailblazer Award 2022
• Living Wage Scotland Newcomer Award 2022
• Living Wage Scotland Living Hours Award 2022
• Living Wage Scotland Outstanding Leadership Award 2022

Applications are now open and must be submitted by 19 August 2022.

The awards ceremony will be held in the evening of the 17 November at the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh.
