Fair work first policy

Read our statement below

We support the Scottish Government’s Fair Work First approach, which promotes high-quality employment practices and fair treatment at work. 

Our approach reflects the seven Fair Work First criteria:

• Payment of at least the real Living Wage;

• Providing appropriate channels for effective worker voice;

• Investing in workforce development;

• No inappropriate use of zero-hours contracts;

• Addressing workplace inequalities, including pay and employment gaps;

• Offering flexible and family-friendly working practices from day one; and

• Opposing the use of fire and rehire practices.

Our approach

Money Advice Scotland aims to embed Fair Work principles throughout our employment practices and organisational culture.

We are committed to:

• ensuring staff are fairly rewarded for their work;

• providing opportunities for staff to contribute their views and influence how we work;

• investing in learning, development and professional growth;

• supporting flexible working and work-life balance;

• promoting equality, diversity and inclusion;

• providing a safe, supportive and respectful workplace; and

• regularly reviewing our employment practices to identify opportunities for improvement.

We believe that supporting and investing in our staff helps us provide better services and achieve our mission of improving financial wellbeing for the people of Scotland.
