The Living Wage Employer accreditation process is as follows:
- Submit your enquiry on the Living Wage foundation website: Accredit | Living Wage Foundation
- You will then receive an online license form to complete
- Complete the license form, the Living Wage Foundation will check it’s ok and will be able to confirm your accreditation, this takes about a week.
- Once your accreditation is confirmed, apply to Southwark grant scheme to be reimbursed two years accreditation fees. The London Living Wage – Southwark Council
