Minimum wage

downandlow

I have just started working, and i get the minimum wage (well i think thats what the minimum wage is) i get £5.05 per hour. Does anyone know when and if that will rise and if it does, does my employer automatically up my pay or do i have to say something?

I am 37 and havent worked for many years due to raising a family, in case anyone was wondering!
