Apparently the National Minimum Wage for under 25's rises this weekend 1st October, from £6.70 to £6.95 per hour, for those aged under 25 who were not increased by last April's National Living Wage. This has been badly advertised and communicated, and we have only just found out from our Labour Agency and a quick Google search here https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-government-accepts-minimum-wage-rate-recommendations--2 Especially important for all seasonal apple, pumpkin and flower pickers about to get busy....and i guess some weekend garden centre staff too.
