  £3.68 - the 16-17 rate for workers above school leaving age but under 18

  Homebase pay £4.86 per hour, however, when you hit 18 it goes up to about.. £6.08 per hour. They also add something like, £1.20 per hour when you work on Bank Hoildays

  
  Did he not ask before applying for the job ?

  The job was advertised as "meets min wages". He has had an interview with Asda which stated the same but Asda pay under 21's the same rate as over 21's

  That rate is meeting minimum wage.

  I know it is but meets min wage could be that rate or anything over.

  Thanks I know the min age for a 16 year old is £3.68 but ASDA are going to pay him the same rate they pay over 21's, was just wondering if Homebase paid a higher rate.

  That would be described as exceeds NMW.
