On 15 March 2010, the Agricultural Wages Board for Northern Ireland agreed to increases of 1.8% for agricultural workers across all grades.  The new rates, which take effect from Monday, 5 April, are as follows:

• Grade 1 – Minimum rate, for the first 40 weeks cumulative employment – £5.90
• Grade 2 – Standard worker – £6.25 per hour
• Grade 3 – Lead worker – £6.86 per hour
• Grade 4 – Craft Grade – £7.37 per hour
• Grade 5 – Supervisory Grade – £7.81 per hour
• Grade 6 – Farm Management Grade – £8.44 per hour

As the Grade 1 minimum rate is less than the new National Minimum Wage rate from 1 October 2010, the Wages Board will review the rate and increase it accordingly.
