Looks like that is going to be the key on buying voters for labour.

seems like a good idea to me
paying people a "Living wage" not a basic minimum wage
I pay my employee's more than BMW, where most employers pay as little as they can
so they have no hope of progressing or saving and keeps them tied to there job

It'll cause inflation.

One way of helping the less well off would be to give them a fuel voucher to cover the cost of getting to work, for a distance of, for example, 100 miles a week.

very simple I could pay my employee's BMW but I pay them as much as I can but still keeping the company profitable
our work doesn't have set rates we charge for time & services supplied on a "Per Job" basis
I don't take a wage from the company as I have income from another job I do
this allows me to pay my staff a good wage while we build the company up (been going just over a year)

BMW = Basic Minimum Wage, not the Jarman motor co.

Too many people, not enough resources. With a tiny minority taking obscenely more than they deserve.

That has to end. And it will. It's just a shame it'll be by way of violent revolution rather than controlled peaceful change.

But how many businesses will sign up? They're gonna get a £1K tax break for a year, but have to pay people a minimum of £1.14 an hour more which over a 37.5hour week/52 weeks is £2223. So they'll still be £1223 down compared to if they didn't sign up to it.

[oldpink]

yes it costs the employer more but if the company is making enough profit to be able to pay this then why not
its your staff that make your profit so pay them accordingly as long as the company makes a reasonable profit

I'd qualify as I'm already paying above that rate so I'd be happy to take the £1000 and pass it on to my employee's
you also have to take into account as you pay more your profit is less so you pay less tax as an employer on the company profits
its basic swings and roundabouts

I already have an incentive scheme from the dole for employing someone that was 6 months unemployed
they give me £2000 at the end of their first 6 months of employment
this is to help me pay employer NI & and tax contributions
in essence it allows me to pay them a better wage
