Details
The National Minimum Wage is the minimum pay per hour almost all workers are entitled to. The National Living Wage is higher than the National Minimum Wage – workers get it if they’re over 23.
All employers must pay the correct minimum wage.
This page contains information aimed specifically at companies that operate in the labour supply chain sector.
National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage calculations can be complex, and mistakes can be made unintentionally. Where employment involves a labour supply chain, the risk of not paying the correct minimum wage is increased because there are often several companies involved between worker and end user.
The page sets out:
- the common causes of minimum wage underpayment
- some case studies to help companies identify the risks
- advice on how to mitigate those risks and how to check and review minimum wage processes
