OCULAR: A Proud Living Wage Employer
Updates
At OCULAR, we are committed to being a positive force in the business community, and a key part of that commitment is our status as a registered Living Wage employer. By paying the Living Wage, we join a growing movement of organisations across New Zealand that recognise the importance of fair pay for all workers, ensuring that everyone can live with dignity and security.
What is the Living Wage?
The Living Wage is more than the minimum wage; it is independently calculated to reflect the actual cost of living in New Zealand. It covers essential expenses such as housing, food, transportation, and education, aiming to provide workers and their families with a sufficient income to thrive, not just survive.
Why Support the Living Wage?
Choosing to pay the Living Wage is about more than just remuneration – it’s about demonstrating respect for workers and contributing to a fairer society. At OCULAR, we are proud to stand alongside other forward-thinking businesses that prioritise the wellbeing of workers, supporting them to achieve financial stability and a decent standard of living.
The Impact of the Living Wage Movement
The Living Wage movement is growing rapidly in New Zealand, bringing together businesses, organisations, and communities that are committed to reducing poverty and inequality. By joining this movement, OCULAR is actively contributing to a more inclusive economy where fair wages are a standard, not an exception.
Leading by Example
As a registered Living Wage employer, OCULAR encourages other businesses to consider the broader impact of fair pay. By investing in people, we are not only fostering a healthier, more motivated workforce but also setting a standard for ethical business practices across our industry. We believe that when businesses prioritise people, the entire community benefits.
Together, we can help create a more equitable future for all workers in New Zealand – one where fair pay is recognised as a basic right, not a privilege.
