National Minimum Wage Increase
If you are one of the 1.4million people currently being paid the National Minimum Wage, then from the 1st October you will be getting a payrise! How much you will be entitled to will depend on your age with the figures set to rise as follows:
Apprentice: £3.30 per hour
Under 18: £3.87 per hour
18 to 20: £5.30 per hour
21 and over: £6.70 per hour
This represents a rise of approximately 3% for those on the National Minimum Wage. Employers need to ensure that all employees are paid at least these amounts per hour for their particular age bracket.
