South West Veterinary Services takes care of their animals and clients and they also take care of their employees. That’s why they say they’ve chosen to become the latest local Certified Living Wage Employer.
The wage is calculated regularly by the United Way Perth-Huron’s Social Research and Planning Council and it is based on the living expenses of a family of 4 with both adults working full time 35 hours per week. This is once government transfers and deductions are taken into account.
Everyday expenses including in the calculation are food, housing, utilities, childcare and transportation. The current living wage in Perth-Huron is $17.55 per hour.
