National Minimum Wage 1
The National Minimum Wage (NMW) rates are increased from today
There are different levels of NMW, depending on the employees age. The rates from 1st October 2009 are:
- £5.80 - the main rate for workers aged 22 and over
- £4.83 - the 18-21 rate
- £3.57 - the 16-17 rate for workers above school leaving age but under 1
Most workers in the U.K. above the compulsory school age are legally entitled to be paid at least the NMW rate and these cannot be set aside by contract.
