National Minimum Wage

by Emma

This is my first day at PJH Law and I have the honour of writing what I hope will be the first of many blogs. 

The Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) recently announced new rates for the minimum wage from 1 October 2008.  The new rates are:

Workers aged 22 and over - £5.73 per hour

Workers aged 18-21 - £4.77 per hour

Workers aged 16-17 - £3.53 per hour

Accommodation offset - £4.46 per day (£31.22 per week)

Employers should ensure these increases are implemented on or before 1 October 2008 and no doubt we’ll remind you with a further blog nearer the time.  More information can be found here
