Guidance includes new worker checklist
Updated guidance from Business Link and DirectGov includes advice on the payment of the national minimum wage (NMW) for work experience employees and interns.
The guidance also includes a new worker checklist for employers and examples of case studies, which aims to make sure that those who are entitled to the NMW receive it.
The new NMW rates that come into force on 1 October 2011:
| Category | £/hour |
| Workers aged 21 and over | 6.08 |
| Workers aged 18-20 | 4.98 |
| Workers aged 16-17 | 3.68 |
| Apprentices | 2.60 |
