Having guaranteed hours and proper notice takes a lot of stress off. Knowing where I stand each week makes a big difference—and it shows that Edge genuinely values the people who work here.' Christine McCaig, Projects Coordinator, Living Wage Scotland said: 'There are thousands of Scottish-based employers that are committed to paying at least the real Living Wage, and it's fantastic to see Edge Group Scotland take further steps to protect their workers from low pay and insecure work by becoming Living Hours accredited. "The values that led them to commit to the real Living Wage are the same values that have led to their expanded commitment to fair work at a time when workers need it most.' Research published by the Living Wage Foundation showed that over 9% of workers in Scotland are in insecure work and paid below the Living Wage. This is approximately 250,000 workers. The Living Hours standard was created to ensure that people have predictable working patterns and income, enabling them to better plan their lives.
