I still think this should be higher, then we wouldnt need to top up with tax credits. I’m in a job that pays as a starting salary just above the min wage, so its ok but could be better
The rates have now changed slightly, with the adult NMW being £6.50 an hour. I think that this is a good thing, because even small amounts such as this will mean that people are able to take a little bit more home with them at the end of each month. Even a small amount will mean that they can take more than they otherwise would have done, so it is a very welcome change.
