Dörken Joins the Certified Living Wage Employers in Niagara

💡 What is a Living Wage?
It’s the hourly pay workers need to cover basics like food, housing, and childcare—and still participate in their community.

❌ It’s not the same as minimum wage (the legal floor set by government).
✅ It’s calculated locally, based on the real cost of living for a family of four.

🌟 Why does it matter?
When employers pay a living wage, everyone wins:
✔️ Stronger staff loyalty & retention
✔️ Less turnover & absenteeism
✔️ Happier, healthier employees
✔️ Better customer relationships

Most importantly, it means workers don’t have to choose between heating the house or putting food on the table. Paying a living wage helps build stronger, thriving communities. 💪❤️
