National Minimum Wage: An Introduction
An employer must pay their workers a minimum amount as defined by law. This is called the National Minimum wage.
There are three levels of minimum wage, and the rates from 1st October 2005 are:
**Compulsory School age
In England and Wales: a person is no longer of compulsory school age after the last Friday of June of the school year in which their 16th birthday occurs.
In Scotland: pupils whose 16th birthday falls between 1 March and 30 September may not leave before the 31 May of that year. Pupils aged 16 on or between 1 October and the last day of February may not leave until the start of the Christmas holidays in that school year.
In Northern Ireland: a person is no longer of compulsory school age after the 30th June of the school year in which their 16th birthday occurs.
The per day value of the accommodation offset is £3.90 for each day that accommodation is provided.

Yeah. I get 6ph working at Vauxhalls washing cars. It used to be 6.50 ph, but the other recruitment agency did not want to pay their clients the 6.50, so dropped it to 6 and so did the agency I work for as to be fair
