Financial expert Martin Lewis has revealed a checklist of the eight ways people who are on the new higher minimum wage can be underpaid by bosses. From April the National Minimum Wage went up significantly - reflecting the rise in inflation but the Money Saving Expert founder revealed an estimated 500,000 people aren't getting what they should be.
The main figure for those aged over 23 went up from £9.50 to £10.42 per hour. The ‘adult rate’ for those 21-22 went from £9.18 to £10.18, development aged (18-20) from £6.83 to £7.49.
The Young workers rate (age 16-17) went from £4.81 to £5.28 and the Apprentice rate from £4.81 to £5.28. However speaking on Good Morning Britain, Mr Lewis revealed that many employers were still not paying the minimum wage properly, leaving some of the poorest people in the country underpaid.
