National minimum wage to rise by 6.7% from £11.44 to £12.21 /hr
For 18-20 year olds it will rise by 16.3% from £8.60 to £10.00 /hr
And for apprentices it will rise by 18% from £6.40 to £7.55 /hr
This is the first step to making all the pay bands uniform for adults, according to the government.
Combined with the Employment Rights Bill, the Tories really seem to have changed their tune on working conditions this year.
ReD tOrIeS!
I’m braced for a lot in the budget that I won’t like, but at least this is something positive.
It does feel like Labour are *trying* at least to do the right things with the pay deals then this. Whether they actually get it right it right or not, time will tell.
£25,396pa for a 40hr week.
In 2015 it was £13,936
Puts it all in perspective.
Public sector wages haven’t grown by anything close to this level.
Makes me wonder, if the UK Government accepts that the cost of living is more or less doubled in ten years why haven’t they translated that into public sector pay rises?
Nurses, Doctors, Teachers, Firefighters, Police and so on and so on have been well and truly shafted on this.
A lot of public sector jobs probably won’t even meet minimum wage next year and the salaries will need to rise. What a slap in the face to hospital porters and nursing auxiliaries and all the others. “Your efforts are worth the minimum”
Wages in the UK are horrendously poor. If I were in the States, I’d be on about $100,000 (£76k) minimum. I earn £35,000 after 6 years progression. Very grateful for what I have but c’mon…
Good.
A rising tide raises all boats. We have too many people working but still claiming benefits. Like how does it make sense to work 40 hours a week and still require government support? It’s just the government subsidising uncompetitive businesses.
We’d be better with a slightly lower employment rate and better wages for those who are employed to increase our productivity issues.
It’s always baffled me that you are classed as an adult once you hit 16, but you get paid less if you are under 21. Must be infuriating for younger folk and definitely doesn’t help for anyone that wants to try and get some independence from a younger age.
£12.21 wow that’s shocking
Wages at home are so shite. I was doing a very intense job at the College of Medicine at Glasgow University a few years ago and was only on like £34k. Completely worked into the ground for nothing. I moved to Spain which is notorious for poor pay and earned more immediately.
