Age is not a factor in this, it is experience if you have been doing the job for the same length of time then it comes down to performace, if performance is not a factor then it comes down to competance, if competance isnt a factor, it comes down to wether the boss fancies you or not!! and if none of those things are not a factor than maybe you should all be paid the same rate, but judging by the fact your on Y/A I would say your not pulling your finger out and that is why they are paid more!!
bring back YTS!!

Depends on where you are, if you are in the UK, then rules about the national minimum wage apply, and there are no exceptions, for small companies, or industry sectors. Rates are as follows:
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 .
Its a hard life but thats the way it goes

Don't worry, you need to have patience. Your day will come with experience and being open to the education that the job requires. The employer will recognize your initiative towards learning to do it their way. It is the same the world over, no matter who the employer is.
Here, I will impart my dad's warped sense of humor, when it comes to employees and wages. He once said to me, that a employee is only worth a dollar an hour below the neck. Anything that employee makes above that dollar comes from above the neck.

Ah, to be 20 again. So innocent and naive. Those were the days. Sorry, but "should" and "reality" are light years apart in the real world.
Or, perhaps I'm reading this all wrong. Are you saying that you are making more money than your older friends, and you don't know how to break it to them?

The rate depends on your experience and not the hourly rate.

In most companies it is actually gross misconduct to be comparing pay rates with collegues, and as you are younger than your collegues your employer is within their rights to be paying you less due to minimum wage guidelines. however if you do decide to take this up with your employer DO NOT tell them that you have compared rates of pay, or you could end up in trouble.

not necessarily as you may be on the minimum wage for your age or that they get more as they may work harder or something. I had this problem with my last job. Have you been there longer than them as if so i would see your boss and talk it through with them.

Same job = same pay in my book. Age shouldn't be a factor.

If you have all been the for the same amount of time, and have the same level of experience then yes, you absolutely should make the same amount

Yeah, as long as they weren't at the job longer than you
