Calculating the National Minimum Wage
How to check your pay
Your average hourly pay has to be at least the NMW, worked out over a period called the ‘pay reference period’.
To find out whether you are getting the NMW you need to know what can counts towards it and what doesn’t. You also need to know which hours you are entitled to be paid for. This depends on which of the four types of work under the NMW rules you are doing:
* time work
* salaried hours
* piece or output work
* unmeasured work
