The main rate for workers aged 22 and over is currently set at £5.05 an hour. On 1 October 2006 this will increase to £5.35
The development rate for 18-21 year olds is currently set at £4.25 an hour this will increase to £4.45 on 1 October 2006
The development rate for 16-17 years olds. This rate is £3.00 an hour. This will increase on 1 October 2006 to £3.30 an hour
On 1 October 2006 the rate of the accommodation offset will increase to £29.05 per week (£4.15 per day). The current rate is £27.30 per week (£3.90 per day)
It is important to note that these new rates only apply to pay reference periods beginning on or after the date they came into law.
16 and 17 year olds rate
The Government accepted the Low Pay Commission's recommendations for a new rate for 16 and 17 year olds (above compulsory school leaving age)* in their 2004 report.
£3.00 per hour from 1 October 2004. This will increase to £3.30 in October 2006.
NB: 16 and 17 year old apprentices are exempt from the young workers rate.
*Compulsory School Age
In England and Wales: a person is no longer of compulsory school age after the last Friday of June of the school year in which their 16th birthday occurs.
In Northern Ireland: a person is no longer of compulsory school age after the 30th June of the school year in which their 16th birthday occurs.
In Scotland: pupils whose 16th birthday falls between 1st March and 30th September may not leave before the 31st May of that year. Pupils aged 16 on or between 1st October and the last day of February may not leave until the start of the Christmas holidays in that school year.
Fair Piece Rates
From October 2004, the Government proposed that employers have to pay their workers the minimum wage for every hour they work or a fair piece rate initially set at 100% of the minimum wage. The rate was increased to 120% of the minimum wage in April 2005 at which point most homeworkers will receive the minimum wage.

they don't realize economics. they believe that in basic terms passing a regulation will boost the classic of residing for the negative. even as it does the option. once you boost the minimum salary all you may want to anticipate are a shrink in hours and boost in fee and human beings will lose genuine income. If the minimum salary became repealed- it could be logical to anticipate a minimum of starting up pay would drop in spite of the indisputable fact that this would bring about decrease costs and unemployment.

It doesn't matter! It's the lowest possible wage they can pay you without committing a felony. If you can't do better than that, then you need to make some changes in your life. Get some education, training, anything! They're offering you the lowest possible wage they can get away with!!!!
