The Head of People and Equalities submitted a report (previously circulated, now appended) recommending a change to Oxford’s “living wage.”            

Resolved to:-

(1)   Note the success of the implementation of the Oxford Living Wage; including as referred to in the Head of Business Improvement’s report on its application by local suppliers; and

(2)   Agree the proposal to increase the level of the Oxford minimum wage to £8.01 per hour, with effect from 1 January 2012 thus ensuring it better reflected the cost of living in Oxford.
