Socially just pay policy

This policy sets out PIRC's "waging system," built on a flat core salary (targeting the UK Median Wage for a four-day week) with percentage uplifts for length of service (1% per year, up to 5 years), financial dependants (8% per dependant, divided by number of supporting salaries), experience of marginalisation or oppression (10%, self-declared, no proof required), and city weighting (12% for London, 6% for other UK cities). It also includes an emergency waging system that prioritises housing costs during financial hardship, and a ring-fenced emergency fund (capped at £10,000) for staff facing personal crises such as imminent eviction or healthcare needs. The policy is notable for its transparency principles — actual pay amounts are visible via open budgeting — and its expectation that staff with significant inherited or accumulated wealth will voluntarily decline uplifts.
