The ACS has called for a cautious approach to future National Living Wage rates and consideration of the significant challenges currently facing employers.
During an evidence session to the Low Pay Commission, ACS chief executive James Lowman, said: “It is vital that the government seeks to set wage rates which avoid negative impacts on businesses and support the good quality employment available in our sector.
“We are urging the Low Pay Commission to take the current economic situation into context when setting future wage rates, looking at the significant disruption that businesses and consumers are experiencing as a result of the cost of living and cost of trading crisis.”
ACS has also submitted written evidence to the Low Pay Commission.
