On the 15th August, CIPD and the High Pay Centre published their annual review of FTSE 100 executive pay packages. The report found that CEO median pay rose by 11% between 2016 and 2017, and now stands at £3.93 million per year, an increase on £3.53 million in 2016.
In response to the report, Tess Lanning, Director of the Living Wage Foundation said:
"A basic test of fairness for many people will be whether the UK's largest companies are paying their lowest paid staff a real Living Wage, not just the government minimum.
"Over a third of FTSE 100 companies are accredited Living Wage Employers, but we now want to see more step up and pay all workers enough to live on."
