The National Living Wage will see its largest ever cash increase, and all National Minimum Wage rates will also receive a boost from April 2023.
This will help reward workers for hard work and make significant progress on ending low hourly pay by 2024-25. #AutumnStatement
ALT £1,600 ANNUAL INCREASE FOR FULL TIME WORKERS ON THE NATIONAL LIVING WAGE The National Living Wage is being raised to £10.42, giving over 2 million people a pay rise. The National Minimum Wage will also see a substantial boost.

The National Minimum and Living Wage both went up on 1 April.
Your hourly rate depends on your age and if you are an Apprentice.
Remember to check your payslip in April to make sure you’re getting the wages you're entitled to.

191 companies have been named and fined for breaching minimum wage law. There is no excuse for leaving workers short-changed.
If you’re an employer, you must keep up with minimum wage laws and pay workers properly.

Been talking to care workers as part of @lpcminimumwage evidence sessions. Incredibly moving to hear their amazing commitment to their job, and incredibly enraging to hear their continued terrible pay and conditions.

People who think minimum wage is just an inevitably controversial topic in politics & economics should spend some time studying the U.K.
Tl;dr. UK used to be like the US back in mid 90s. But since then, it's become much less controversial in both politics and economics.

Kicking off our #lowpay webinar @nyecominetti notes that the proportion of low-paid workers had fallen to its lowest level since 1978 by the eve of the covid crisis, driven by the introduction and ramping up of the National Living Wage

It's always a pleasure to participate in UK Low Pay Commission research events and learning about new work coming out of there. Today's @lpcminimumwage forum was no different.
Great to see innovative work being done to better understand the impact of UK's ambitious MW policies.

A key part of the success of UK minimum wages is bringing social partners on board. I very much appreciated this talking to members of @lpcminimumwage.
For this reason I want to share FSB's perspective below about what they think is needed to make an ambitious wage policy work.
Small firms call for ‘jobs tax’ support as wage reviews urge caution.

We have also published our review of the youth rates of the National Minimum Wage. In it we recommended a phased extension of the NLW to 21-24 year olds, advice which was accepted by the Government.
