Minimum Wage Changes 2017

Following its Introduction in April 2016, The National Living Wage is set to increase, with the National Minimum Wage also seeing a 4% increase in April 2017.


The hourly rate for the minimum wage depends on your age and whether or not you are an apprentice.

Apprentices are entitled to the minimum wage for their age if they are:
