These are the employers hiring right now paying more than the new National Living Wage.

● The Government has announced the National Living Wage for those over 23 will rise from £9.50 to £10.42 in April 2023.
● An increase of over 9%
● Some employers are paying over £10.42 for their hourly paid roles right now. Including Lidl, Costco and Apple.

Breakroom, the people-powered job board, has revealed the employers who are already paying the newly announced minimum wage right now so job seekers can take advantage months before it comes into effect.

Breakroom has conducted the largest-ever survey of over 400,000 UK frontline workers, asking them about the things that really matter to them, like pay, flexibility, team, and management. Using this to rate more than 3,000 UK employers.

Using this data Breakroom can reveal some of the employers who are already paying more than the 2023 National Living Wage.

All of the following companies are currently hiring hourly staff and paying over £10.42 right now.

Rolls-Royce
Apple
Costco
Lidl
Royal Mail
Openreach
British Gas
Warburtons
Go Ahead London
Heathrow Airport
Amazon
First Bus
Stagecoach

Some of the employers currently hiring include Costco who are hiring for Warehouse / General Assistant roles that are paying £10.70 rising to £14.70 after a qualifying period.

Lidl who last month increased their entry-level rates from £10.10 to £10.90 per hour outside of London and £11.30 to £11.95 per hour within the M25.

Other highly rated employers currently hiring include Heathrow Airport, Rolls-Royce and Apple.

Anna Maybank, Co-Founder and CEO of Breakroom, commented:

"We've built the first people-powered jobs site that helps users not just find a job but find a 'good' job. Breakroom gives everyone access to great information empowering them to get a 'good' job.

We ask and answer the questions that matter to the community, like 'how much are you paid per hour?' 'How much notice do you get for your shifts?' and 'does your manager treat you with respect?'

The announcement of the rise of the National Living wage is a step in the right direction. However, whilst pay is rising it's still being outpaced by inflation and the new government Living Wage is still behind that of the Real Living Wage at £10.90 outside London and £11.95 for those working in London.

It also doesn't come into effect until next April and our members have told us that the combination of low pay mixed with the cost-of-living crisis is the number one reason they are currently looking to leave or change jobs.

Using the data from Breakroom members we can show pay ranges for jobs even if it isn't included in the job advert, so job seekers can easily find employers who like the ones above are paying more than the new minimum wage and are hiring right now."

Breakroom doesn't just help users find a job it helps users find out if the job is well-rated but also if the job meets their needs. It also uses the data from the over 400,000 UK shift workers who have taken the Breakroom Quiz. Users can filter jobs by what matters to them. Things like, if the job pays breaks, if all ages are paid the same or how much notice you'll get for your shifts. Breakroom also uses the data to produce an estimated pay range for that job, even if the pay isn't in the job advert.
