John Sisk & Son will make a one-off cost-of-living payment to employees this September and will issue Christmas vouchers in November
A one-off cost-of-living payment to employees will be made to Sisk’s staff in the UK, Ireland and Europe in this month’s wages to help with rising prices.
The Truss government has recently taken measures through energy price caps for residential properties and businesses as forecasts predict further economic struggles.
Many will be facing unprecedented hardship this winter.
The payment will be made this month and Christmas vouchers will be available in November
In Ireland and Europe Sisk is paying €1,000 and in the UK £900, before tax, via the September payroll.
Sisk also recently told staff that Christmas vouchers this year worth €500 in Ireland and £400 in the UK, will be issued in November.
Galliford Try have taken similar measures in recent weeks, giving a one-off payment worth up to £750 to around 1,800 employees.
Recognising the unprecedented challenges presented by the cost-of-living crisis
Company CEO Paul Brown said: “We are very aware of the issue with the cost of living and as a Board, we have reviewed a variety of options. As a Board we appreciate the commitment you show to Sisk and we recognise the unprecedented challenges that increased costs are having on everyone.
“We hope these two initiatives can help ease the burden in the coming months. Thanks for all your ongoing help and hard work, it is greatly appreciated.”
