A Detailed Guide to the National Minimum Wage pdf (293Kb) is a comprehensive guide to the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 and National Minimum Wage Regulations 1999.

The Minimum Wage and Therapeutic Work ( 69Kb) explains how the NMW applies in relation to what is often known as 'therapeutic work': people doing work (or work-like activities) for therapeutic reasons.

There is also a series of Management Best Practice booklets for employers, which are available in pdf format. These cover the following sectors:

Clothing
