“Many workers in the hospitality, retail, food and beverage processing industries are essentially front-line workers, interacting with the public, carefully managing COVID-19 risks to keep us safe, fed and cared for,” said Spinnaker’s owner Paul Hadfield.
Spinnaker’s joins another Victoria company, Themis Security, committed to paying all its staff and contracted workers a living wage.
“Our guards are the backbone of our company, said Themis president Mirko Filipovic. “We want to do all we can to attract and retain the very best employees who understand and are committed to the business. By earning a living wage, our guards can live more comfortably and focus on protecting what matters to our clients rather than searching for another paycheque.”
