Fair Work for the voluntary sector workforce is an SCVO priority. We are calling for voluntary organisations to be supported and resourced to be Fair Work employers.

Grants and contracts Scottish Government, their agencies, and other public bodies award should support Fair Work and cover the full costs of employing staff, including at least the Real Living Wage, increased costs of National Insurance Contributions (NICs), inflation-based uplifts on par with those offered to public sector staff, and parity with public sector pay, addressing long-standing disparities between the public and voluntary sectors.
