A care provider company delayed giving staff in Wales a pay rise for six months after the Welsh Government's announced a pay uplift. Achieve Together provides care services to people with complex needs, such as autism and learning difficulties.
In December 2021, the Welsh Government announced funding to ensure that care workers received the real living wage, which was due to be paid to care workers from April 2022 who had previously been on minimum wages. The Welsh Government provided funds to each local authority and health boards in Wales, including Cyngor Gwynedd, who then transferred the money to Achieve Together - which has various residential homes and living accommodation in the county, on April 1, 2022 to facilitate the pay rise.
However, members of staff at Achieve Together in Gwynedd have said their employer did not immediately pass the pay rise on to their workers.
