NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE RATES
Employment lawyer in London W1 - Andrew Veitch
From 1 October 2012 the new National Minimum Wage rates are:
£6.19 - the main rate for workers aged 21 and over (up from £6.08)
£4.98 - the rate for workers aged 18-20
£3.68 - the rate for workers above school leaving age but under 18
£2.65 - the rate for apprentices under 19 ,or 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship
Employers need to ensure they are compliant and check if contracts and recruitment documentation needs to be amended. If an employer is found not to have paid their employees the minimum wage they face having to pay any outstanding arrears in wages, a penalty of up to £5,000 and in the most serious cases criminal prosecution.
