There are different levels of NMW, depending on your age. The current rates since 1 October 2009 are:
What is The National Minimum Wage in the UK?
£5.80 – the main rate for workers aged 22 and over
£4.83 – the 18-21 rate
£3.57 – the 16-17 rate for workers above school leaving age but under 18If you are of compulsory school age you are not entitled to the NMW. Some of your other employment rights are also different.
Most workers in the UK over compulsory school leaving age are legally entitled to be paid at least the NMW and all employers have to pay it to you if you are entitled to it. It makes no difference:
* if you are paid weekly or monthly, by cheque, in cash or in another way
* if you work full time, part time or any other working pattern
* if you work at your employer’s own premises or elsewhere
* what size your employer is
* where you work in the UK
