We are delighted to announce that Smith Goodfellow is now an accredited Living Hours Employer. Our commitment to Living Hours builds upon our existing Living Wage accreditation to provide our staff with the security and stability of hours they need to meet their everyday needs. In practice, this means all our team are entitled to:
- A contract that reflects the hours they regularly work
- A guaranteed minimum of 16 hours of work per week
- Decent notice periods for shifts, of at least 4 weeks
The Living Hours standard has been developed to ensure that people have the predictable working patterns and income to better plan their lives.
Smith Goodfellow is one of the first employers to implement this new standard, becoming the 4th Living Hours accredited employer in Stockport.
Jen Heil, Director of Business Development at Smith Goodfellow, said:
“Supporting our team and ensuring they have as much security at work as possible is an important part of our organisational culture. Becoming an accredited Living Hours employer sits alongside our Living Wage Employer accreditation and our Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter membership to demonstrate our commitment to putting our team first in all we do.”
