Today is September 1 — the day the 2021/22 New Zealand Living Wage rate comes into force. From today all accredited Living Wage Employers will pay their workers a minimum of $22.75. Of course many have been adopting the updated rate since it was announced on 1 April. Today is a day we acknowledge and thank all Living Wage Employers.
