Sorry Tish, I can't catch it :Erm:

Is your daughter getting below the National Minimum Wage?

In reality she really should be paid the minimum (for her circumstances) or she can be paid anything at all above that minimum.

Can you clarify what you need correction on?

If shes under 18 she'll be paid less than the minimum wage.

Hi Terpe :Wave:

No need for correction now as daughter is getting nearly 7 pounds per hour :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Apparently, everyone joining Tesco will get the same rate as everybody else :xxgrinning--00xx3:

She's only contracted for 11 hours per week though but that's fine as daughter's at college :xxgrinning--00xx3:

That's what I thought at first but then I was wrong :biggrin:

[Terpe]

No, she'll be paid the nat min wage for her age and circumstances.
As I see it she should be paid £3.68 or above which is the legal minimum wage at that age.

Or have I misunderstood something (which is quite possible) :olddude:

I can vaguely remember that being on the news Terpe :smile:

This was my understanding at first but daughter signed her contract yesterday :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

The National Minimum Wage is just what it says.
It legally the Minimum wage that can be paid.
The actual wage can be anything from the minimum upwards to whatever.

Period.

yes , the minimum wage is just that,..that is the least they are allowed to pay but of course they can pay more.

[Tish]

I might join Tesco soon as most of my Filipino friends are working for them and some of my family members too :icon_lol:

And in my daughter's case, they have given her more so I might start charging her board money now :icon_lol:

I do believe M&S have the same starting rate whatever your age aswell. But they seem against employing young people! I've been in my store over 10 years and I'm still one of the youngest!

Tesco were employing so called "students" in breach of their visa conditions - they probably poached them from the local petrol station
