Rights when you start work
You must be paid the national minimum wage (NMW). This is £3.40 an hour for ages 16 - 17 and £4.60 for people aged 18 - 21 years.
This rate goes up each October.
Your employer must give you a written contract of employment.
This tells you about:
- pay
- holidays
- hours you work
- rules about being absent from work
- other things you need to know
