Newcastle United Makes Living Wage Commitment

Newcastle United has made an application to the Living Wage Foundation to become a Living Wage Employer.

Known as the ‘real Living Wage’, the scheme independently calculates a minimum rate of pay in line with the cost of living and accordingly sets a benchmark for employers that wish to ensure their staff earn a fair wage.

Following the club’s voluntary application, retroactive from 1st February 2022, all employees at the club will receive a minimum hourly rate of £9.90 per hour – a higher rate than the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage.

Newcastle United co-owner, Amanda Staveley, said: “This is an important part of our people strategy as we work together to deliver our new vision.”
