OXFORD: Council staff and agency workers will get at least £8.01 an hour under plans to increase Oxford’s “living wage”.
Oxford City Council said it wants to increase the rate from £7.19 to reflect the cost of living.
It would cost an extra £8,700.
A report says: “Making no change in the living wage would mean it gets out of step with the real cost of living and no longer achieves what it was set up to do.”
The council’s executive board will be asked to approve the plan on Wednesday.
