Does your organisation support low paid workers?

Making your money work – for employees

UK gig and hospitality workers have been adversely affected by the pandemic. To help these workers, FT FLIC is producing a course on the basic building blocks of managing your money.

From couriers to cleaners, term-time teaching assistants to porters, the course builds knowledge around financial stability for those whose income is not always stable.

Learners will come away with tools to manage their money and understand their payslips and entitlements. Whether they have multiple jobs or varying paydays, these tools will give them the confidence to manage their budgets and understand their finances.

Sessions will be interactive and include videos, activities, quizzes and polls – all made in partnership with learners. We are now seeking partners to build our delivery around learners’ needs.

This includes collaborating with unions, employers and charities to reach people whose pay is low or irregular.

Course topics will include:

BUDGETING

(including budgeting, planning for emergencies, rising living costs)

EARNING

(covering payslips, pay deductions, pensions)

BORROWING

(understanding debts and protecting yourself from scams)

We aim to work collaboratively on the production and delivery, tailoring resources to workers’ personal finance needs. Money is a sensitive subject, and we will work with partners to ensure the training is delivered in the most effective way, whether online or face to face.
