The Living Wage Foundation’s accreditation means that from January 2015, Chelsea will pay all directly employed members of staff the Living Wage as a minimum - currently £9.15 in London or £7.85 an hour outside of London. This rate is significantly higher than the current national minimum wage of £6.50 an hour.


quote:

Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: ‘Our great football teams are household names around the world, their every action is scrutinised in microscopic detail and by becoming the first professional sports team to commit to pay the London Living Wage Chelsea are setting the right example.

A "living wage" would be much different in London vs the rest of the country. Is there any data showing COLA to employee pay for the rest of the FA?

Hearts is the first Scottish club on board.

9 quid an hour still doesn't seem enough to live off of. Esp in London.

Typical Chelsea. Throwing around "oil money" to get to the top.
