Hay Communications is another local business giving their employees Living Wage. In a growing trend in Huron and Perth Counties, United Way Perth-Huron calculated that wage be $17.55 per hour.
General Manager Angela Lawrence says offering living wages benefits not only their 34 employees in Zurich and Exeter but also the communities.
Lawrence hopes the growing trend of businesses offering Living Wage continues as there are benefits to the employees mental health and sense of security.
She also said the area is undergoing a period of scarcity in employees and offering that living wage helps entice people to join Hay Communications and stay there.
