Next month most Yorkshire Building Society employees will get a one-off payment of £1,200 to help with the rising cost of living.
All eligible employees – excluding directors and chief officers – will receive the payment in addition to a £1,000 salary increase for the same employees earlier in the year, and on top of an average 10.6% pay rise 740 of the Society’s front-line colleagues received in January.
Orlagh Hunt, chief people officer at Yorkshire Building Society, said: “The rising cost of living is undoubtedly causing many people concern, and as an organisation that prides itself on helping households, we’ve looked at a number of ways we can support people through this challenging period.
“We’ve maintained our commitment to paying all colleagues in line with, or above, the real living wage and have invested significantly in our pay awards earlier in the year. But we also recognise that our colleagues are facing real cost of living challenges right now. So, in line with our purpose to offer real help with real life and our mutual status, we can invest for the benefit of members and our people. We hope this one-off payment will go some way to easing the burden many feel.”
