Almost everyone who legally works in the UK is entitled to receive a minimum level of pay. This is called the national minimum wage. Employees/workers can be paid more than the minimum wage but must not be paid less.
Generally if you are legally allowed to work in the UK your employer must pay you at least the appropriate minimum wage. This includes home workers, agency workers, part-time workers, casual workers, pieceworkers and foreign workers.
The amount is set by law and increases up on 1st October each year
Current National Minimum Wage rates from 1st October 2008
