<p>The Government Equalities Office (GEO) does not have any direct employees who are
paid less than the living wage.</p><p>GEO, as part of the Department for Culture,
Media and Sport, is not responsible for setting pay levels for contracted workers.
This is a matter for the organisations who employ them. Where appropriate, the Department
will include a clause in its contract terms and conditions encouraging suppliers to
pay at least the living wage to their employees. For existing contracts where payment
of the Living Wage is an issue, the Department has entered into negotiations with
those suppliers to encourage to pay it.</p><p> </p>
