Almost 70,000 workers are set to receive a pay rise after a new rate of £8.25 an hour was announced for the voluntary National Living Wage.
The figure is an increase of 40p an hour, and is significantly above the national minimum wage of £6.70.
The new rate compares with the new national living wage of £7.20 announced by the Government, which is set to come into force for over 25-year-olds next April.
Accredited Living Wage employers will pay their staff at least the new voluntary Living Wage rate of £8.25 per hour, rising from £7.85.
