Embattled hospitality bosses today hit out at another round of above-inflation minimum wage increases coming into force for 2.4 million workers in April.
The Government announced today that the National Living Wage will rise by 4.1% to £12.71 an hour next year, while the rate for 18 to 20 year olds will go up by a higher than expected 8.5% to £10.85, adding around £1500 a year to their full time wages.
