Balfour+Manson to pay cost of living bonus

Legal firm Balfour+Manson is to pay its staff a £1,000 pre-Christmas bonus to support them with the rising cost of living.

All 86 employees in the business (which also has 22 partners) will receive the discretionary payment in their salary at the end of this month.

Firm chair Elaine Motion commented: "As a caring employer, we recognise that everyone is dealing with the rising cost of living, and we do not underestimate what that means for our staff. 

"So, we felt it was very important to provide as much support as we can to all our staff, especially in the run-up to Christmas, which is an expensive time for everyone."

In an email to staff, she said: "We really appreciate all the efforts and hard work you all put into Balfour+Manson and we are keen to reward you for that." 

She said there had already been a very positive and appreciative response.
