A £720 salary increase and subsidised breakfasts and lunches have been introduced by a Hull city centre business to help staff during the cost of living crisis.
The 55 Group is to put an extra £60 a month in the wages of all staff earning less than £50,000 for at least the next year, with reviews to follow.
Additional National Insurance and tax costs are also being written off, with the move the latest made as employers start to tackle the added burdens being faced. Regional law firm Wilkin Chapman has introduced a £1,000 one-off payment for more than 350 staff, while East Yorkshire's Cartwright & Butler is also adding £1,800 a year to annual salaries.
