Minimum Wage on the Rise
In October 2007 we should see the UK minimum wage rise across all age groups. For over 21’s the rate is currently set at £5.35 but will rise by 17p to £5.52. Workers aged 18 – 21 will see an increase from to £4.45 - £4.60 (15p) and workers aged 16 and 17 will see their hourly wage rise from £3.30 to £3.40 (10p).
