The new minimum wage
mon2016
Posts: 33 Forumite
I notice that the minimum wage changed to £7.05 per hour for under 25 in April, I started a job via a recruitment agency on 3rd April and have been paid £6.95 per hour since then.
What exact date did the new wage come into play?

The new wage came into force April 1st
Have you spoken to your employer? It may just be an oversight
If you have spoken to them and they haven't done anything about it, ring ACAS0 -

Are you paid by the agency or the organisation where you work?
Have you been paid weekly or just once (for the month of April)?0 -
After ringing ACAS, walk away because you're fired.
Going HAM isnt always the solution0 -
The agency, I think the way they work is take their cut of the money before the pay slip is made so everything written on the slip is my money, that's the way it was for other agencies I worked for, it always said the correct minimum wage on the slip.
I get paid weekly.0 -
It looks as if they haven't implemented the increase which came into force in April 2017, but you should get another increase when you turn 25.
As ever, the answer is out there ...Signature removed for peace of mind0 -

Doubt ACAS would actually give any real advice or anything usefull enough to take back to use against the employer.
They are world class fence sitters...:(0 -
I wouldn't suggest ringing ACAS, certainly not at this point.
Send a polite email to your agency querying the rate of pay. It's most probably an oversight.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -
As you are paid weekly, the pay for weeks which have all days after 1 April should be at the new rate.
IIRC they can pay at the old rate if a pay period includes time in the previous NMW time.0
