Question
Following the debate of P.78/2022 the Council of Ministers agreed a sum of £30,000 in the Government Plan 2023 to 2026 to evaluate the technical aspects of the different options to deliver the living wage; will the Minister advise what progress, if any, has been made in developing these options?
Answer
Work on investigating the feasibility of devising a scheme to be brought to the States to convert the Minimum Wage over time to a Living Wage in Jersey will commence shortly and will continue through 2023, as set out in the agreement of the Assembly to P.78/2022. Funds allocated in the Government Plan 2023 – 2026 will be drawn down as and when required to support that work.
