Answer
In setting the 2020/21 public sector pay policy, I have indicated that public sector employers should now actively consider how pay awards for individual staff groups can be targeted to ensure the payment of the Living Wage Foundation Living Wage. HR officials will incorporate this issue into 2020/21 pay considerations for the Civil Service departments.
