I have received a number of inquiries recently asking what is the minimum wage and what the current rates are. The minimum wage simply means that employers are obliged to remunerate their employees at or above the rate set.
For periods starting on or after 1 October 2010, the main rate of the national minimum wage for workers aged 21 and over rose to £5.93 The development rate for workers aged 18 to 20 went up to £4.92, and for those employed and under the age of 18 who are no longer of compulsory school age rose to £3.64. A rate of £2.50 per hour was brought in for apprentices who are aged 19 or under in the first 12 months of the apprenticeship.
