At the Diocese of Paisley, we are dedicated to advancing the Fair Work First criteria as outlined by the Scottish Government. We believe in fostering a fair, inclusive, and supportive workplace for all our employees. Our commitment includes:
Payment of the Real Living Wage: We ensure that all our employees, including apprentices, are paid at least the Real Living Wage, reflecting our commitment to fair pay and financial well-being. We review employee salaries in line with real living wages recommendations to ensure that our employees are paid fairly and equally using the real living wage as a baseline.
Effective Voice Conditions: We provide robust channels for employee engagement and representation, ensuring that every team member has a voice in the workplace. This includes recognising trade unions that any employee decides to engage with and facilitating open communication by creating a psychologically safe working environment where everyone can thrive.

Rev. Dan Fitzpatrick is the Moderator of the Diocesan Curia and has overall responsibility for diocesan staff and can be contacted by email chancellor@rcdop.org.uk.
We are proud to uphold these principles and contribute to a fairer, more equitable working environment.
