The national minimum wage will increase by 20p an hour to £6.70 from October, the government has announced.
The statutory minimum for 18 to 20-year-olds will also go up by 3% from October, from £5.13 to £5.30, and by 2% for 16 and 17-year-olds, taking the rate to £3.87, as the LPC advised.
No wonder the poor choose to live on benefits

What was your job at Woolies AP?

It won`t help, a wage cut of the highest earners is what is needed.

Paying huge bonuses to people already on huge wages is a major problem.
Was looking at one companies website today and saw that between them the CEO and FD were awarded £1.5m in shares for reaching target. The problem is that they receive about £1m in cash as well. They also receive shares for service, extending contracts and etc. |

Spot on.
It's Willie Hills. Checked their recruitment page and all cashiers outside London paid £6.50 per hour, minimum wage. CEO on basic £500k but can earn a further £1m with bonuses and shares. |

I was surprised at how little betting shop managers get paid
|
|
By:
Pay for managers has come down, have known 2 leave in last few years because of it.

Wasn't as bad a few years back but wages cut with top rate of approx. £27k per year reduced to £22k with all other rates suffering similar cuts.

Don't get any overtime either and no extra for bank holidays or Sundays.

Retail has always been notorious for poor pay, benefits and conditions but I think the job is worth a lot more than £20-25k.
Unless I'm overestimating the requirements and responsibilities? |

What a stroke they pulled. Bought out all overtime rates then cut the basic.

Horrible hours as well, late nights and constant weekend working.

3% increase in minimum wage double the rate of inflation I think. Plus the tax free allowance has gone up astronomically with this government. Was about 6.5k as a guess in 2010, think they will raise it to 11k tomorrow. That is an extra £900/year in your sky rocket. Think the personal allowance goes up another £500 next month, so that is another £100/year straight away. That is about another 6p/hour - so effectively the minimum wage goes up another 1% in April and will have gone up about 8% (approx figures) over and above any official minimum wage increases simply by virtue of the personal allowance during this parliament.

Was looking at their flagship shop in London, Edgeware Road.
Monday to Saturday it's open from 8am til 10pm with Sunday 9am til 10pm. |

By:
just a pity inflation is 12%
|
|
By:
course it is.
|
|
By:
Appalling the gap between the Minimum Wage rate and the Living Wage rate though.
|
|
By:
BTW that is an impressive set of figures rob.
|
|
By:
Surely the only thing driving up the living wage at the moment up is house prices
|
|
By:
the Govt will tell the low paid you that inflation is zero
that's OK then ,just hope their landlords take note |
|
By:
When rents go up so does Housing Benefit, the only winners are the landlords.
