17.5m full-time workers aged 25 and over benefited from an inflation-busting 30p per hour pay rise from 1 April, when the National Living Wage was increased to £7.50.
Around 200,000 workers aged 21 to 24 years also received their second pay rise in 6 months when the National Minimum Wage was boosted to £7.05. Other NMW rates are
- £5.60 ph for 18-20 year olds
- £4.05 ph for 16-17 year olds
‘Calculating the minimum wage: Guidance’ – which also applies to the NLW – uses examples to explain
- what counts/does not count as pay and working hours for NMW
- how the Dept for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy will enforce it
In ‘National Minimum Wage & National Living Wage’, Acas sets out all the current NLW and NMW rates in tabular form.
