One of the biggest general insurance providers in Britain has become the latest big business to announce a support package to help its workers through the cost of living crisis.
Hastings Direct – which has its national headquarters in Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex, and hundreds of workers at its Leicester call centre – said staff earning up to £45,000 will benefit from an immediate minimum 5 per cent pay rise and a £500 bonus in October.
It said that added up to around £1,000 for everyone eligible between now and next March, and pay reviews would also be brought forward for those earning more than £45,000. Company directors and executive team members have not been included in the measures.
