Low-paid workers will soon see a slight boost to their pay packet as the national minimum wage is set to increase. The government announced plans to raise the National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage this April.
It means that a full-time worker on the National Living Wage will receive roughly an extra £150 a month from April 2023. Younger workers will also see raises increase.
The Government hopes the rates, which were announced last November, will provide further protection to the living standards of those on lower wages. With the cost of living continuing to rise, the slight boost will be a great help to many.
