We reported last week the recommendations of the Employment Forum for increases to the minimum wage by 2% from 1 April 2011.  The Social Security Minister has promptly approved all of the recommendations, as follows:

• minimum wage increase from £6.20 to £6.32 per hour
• trainee minimum rate increase from £4.65 to £4.74
• increases in the offsets for accommodation from £67.85 to £69.21 per week, and for accommodation and food from £90.46 to £92.27 per week
• a change to the legislation preventing tips being used to top up pay to the minimum rate.

The necessary legislative changes will be made later this year.
