Fair Work First

The ACHA Group are committed to adopting the Scottish Government - Fair Work First workplace commitments. https://www.gov.scot/publications/fair-work-first-guidance-2/pages/0/

In advancing the Fair Work First criteria across the organisation, the ACHA Group will from 1st January 2024;

• Pay at least the real Living Wage to all staff aged 16 and over, including apprentices https://www.livingwage.org.uk/what-real-living-wage
• We will actively review the whole pay structure as part of the Transformation Programme, but as an interim measure the pay structure will ensure the whole workforce is paid at least the real Living Wage
• We have appropriate channels for effective workers voice, including a Joint Trade Union Recognition Agreement, staff surveys, appraisals, team meetings, working groups, regular Transformation Programme communications, and an online communications platform. We will continue to discuss with the recognised trade unions our approach to Fair Work First beyond this interim statement.

Approved in conjunction with Joint Trade Unions, and the ACHA Group
