My understanding of it is that a trainee can be paid less than Minimum wage, its the loophole in the law that allows the Government to pay around £1 per hour under its Training schemes such as New Deal etc for working a normal 40 hour week

of course it is - the UK has a national minimum wage which is age related. You can look it up on the net. It's also illegal to expect anyone to work 72 hours a week.

legally no but if you do not have a national insurance number or pay tax then it must be illegal working and working 72 hours per week must be for a security company and as a student you can only work 23 hours legally, if it is for a security company you will soon need a criminal records check from your own country and you will need your licence to continue working.

Wow. Why is quite everyone at right here so low fee? ok how plenty might you fee somebody according to hour to mow your backyard, rake your leaves or shovel snow? properly take that discern and bump it up a minimum of 50% and then upload a sprint extra with the aid of fact that is 4 little ones. How plenty are your infants particularly worth to you? you won't pay somebody basically $10 to mow your backyard for an hour, why must you pay the guy who watches over your infants any decrease than that?

Yes it is but, it is also illegal for anyone here on a student visa to work that many hours and the person you are working for knows that and thats why he is paying you so low. You will be in trouble if you report him.

Yes it is. Everyone under 18 who is of more than school leaving age is entitled to receive more than £3.30 an hour. Between 18 and 21 the minimum wage is £4.45, and over 21 it is £5.35.

Good grief, yes! The minimum wage in the UK is £5.15. That's the law and employers have to abide by that.

ABSOLUTELY.
1. Our national miimum wage is 5.15 so that is what they should be being paid (at least)
2. It is illegal to work more than 48 hours a week unless you have signed a waiver.
3. If they are a student I am not even sure if their visa allows them to work at all.

Can't have much time to be a "student" working those hours no matter what the pay.
