minimum wage question

I am on salary at work and I have worked out that with the new increase in minimum wage my wages are less than the hourly rate that has been announced will I get an increase in my salary to reflect this or is salary different?

    I don't know if you will but you should. Maybe your payroll dept needs reminding.
    Be Alert..........Britain needs lerts.
  • minimum wage applies to everyone, with a few exceptions such as apprentices.

    Given the fact that October's paycheque may include residual payments from September (i.e. overtime after a cutoff date) my guess is to make it easier for them they'll avoid switching to "full" new NMW until this month. This way when it comes time to do paycheques etc, they're only working with one figure without confusion - just keep an eye and make sure they're paying you properly with the additional money for this month.
    Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.
