Minimum wage help!?

Question

Hi,

I just started my job last monday, and i am on £5 an hour, but in two weeks i will be 22 and in a new minimum wage bracket.

Will my wage automatically go up or do i need to tell my employer?

if i don't will she be contacted saying she is not paying minimum wage?

thanks

Answer 1

After the age of 18 they have to pay you £5.52 so already you are being ripped off, i'd find out how much this is and remind him.

Dont sound to me asthough he will automatically put it up.

Answer 3

People who have posted so far are largely incorrect.

The minimum wage for 18-21 year old is currently £4.60, rising to £4.77 in October

For 22+, the minimum wage is £5.52, rising to £5.73 in October.

Your employer should adjust it automatically - especially if it's a big company - it'll be pretty much automatic, but if it doesn't appear in your next pay, remind them!

Answer 4

where do u come from because over here(england) our min wage is £5.55 as for does it go up for u when 22 it alll depends on the company, if thats how there work best thing to do is ask your employer.
