<p>In accordance with the terms of the House’s London Living Wage accreditation, all
agency staff are paid at least the London Living Wage rate from day 1 of week 9 if
they are working on parliamentary premises and employed for at least two hours of
work in a week, for 8 consecutive weeks in a year.</p><p>The Administration does not
hold information about specific hourly rates paid by agencies in weeks 1-8 as we pay
a rate to the agency not the individuals; however, our recruitment framework agreement
contractual terms stipulate that our contractors pay a rate that is at least the national
minimum wage, and wherever possible we want agency staff to receive a salary commensurate
with that which would have been paid to a permanent member of staff.</p>
