| Welcome to the Low Pay Commission |
|
| The Low Pay Commission (LPC) was established as a result of the
National Minimum Wage Act 1998 to advise the Government about the
National Minimum Wage. |
| |
|
|
| National Minimum Wage rates are currently £4.50 per hour
for those aged 22 and over (the adult rate) and £3.80 per hour
for those aged 18 - 21 (the Development Rate). The Development Rate
can also apply to workers aged 22 and over during the first six months
in a new job with a new employer who are receiving accredited training. |
| |
|
|
| The Government has accepted the Commission's recommendation that
there should be further increases to £4.85 and £4.10 from
1 October 2004. |
