National Minimum Wage 2017

National Minimum Wage.

I have attached a link to a table below I have compiled showing the National minimum wage in 2007, 2012 and the current now in 2017.

In the last 10 years, there has been a 19% increase in wages for under 18 years old and a 27% increase in wages for 21 and over.

We are finding here at Chefs In Scotland that some establishments trying to place adverts are paying below the national minimum wage when worked out with the hours they will be working.

We would always suggest as well as paying above national minimum wage, you pay an hourly rate if possible, and also paying weekly as we find that the jobs that fit these criteria are the most successful in finding candidates.
