The minimum wage is a legal right which covers almost all workers above compulsory school leaving age. There are different minimum wage rates for different groups of workers as follows:
The main rate for workers aged 22 and over increased on 1 October 2006 to £5.35 an hour from £5.05 an hour.
The development rate for 18-21 year olds increased to £4.45 an hour from £4.25 an hour
The development rate for 16-17 year old increased to £3.30 an hour from £3.00 an hour
On 1 October 2006 the rate of the accommodation offset increased to £29.05 per week (£4.15 per day) from £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.
