GM BluePlan latest business to certify as Living Wage Employer

LISTOWEL – GM BluePlan Engineering is the latest North Perth organization to certify as a Living Wage Employer.

“At GM BluePlan we believe that everyone deserves to earn a liveable wage,” said GM BluePlan Branch Manager and Partner, Matt Ash. “We are committed to providing our employees with opportunities to excel and to build a better life for them and their families.”

Based on a 35-hour work week, the Perth-Huron Living Wage is calculated regularly using local data and takes into account the living expenses of a weighted average of family types including a family of four, a single mother supporting a seven-year-old child and a single adult, once government transfers and deductions are factored in. Everyday expenses in the calculation include housing, food, utilities, childcare and transportation.
