From October 2010, National Minimum Wage rates will increase from:
· £5.80 to £5.93 an hour for workers aged 21 and over
· £4.83 to £4.92 an hour for workers aged 18 to 20
· £3.57 to £3.64 an hour for workers aged 16 to 17
The rise is around the two per cent mark in each category. As promised, the government has extended the adult minimum wage rate to 21-year-olds from October 2010. Previously the qualifying age for the National Minimum Wage was 22.
