It's currently illegal to employ workers from different countries on different sets of conditions, no ifs or buts. That's called discrimination.
Paying a living wage is either up to the generosity of the employer or being compelled to by legislation.
It's really unclear as to what immigration we'll get post-Brexit. Some ministers have promised that construction, housing, agriculture, financial services and the NHS will all have unlimited immigration allowed. London has asked for unlimited immigration as well. Other ministers have said off the record that we'll be in the EEA so pretty much the same immigration as we have at the moment. Only time will tell.
