The National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Regulations 2021 have been published. The changes come into force on 1 April 2021.
The single hourly rate of the National Living Wage for working people aged 25 or over will increase to £8.91 (current rate £8.72). The NLW will now apply to workers from age 23.
The Regulations also extend the period for which an employer must keep records sufficient to establish that it is paying a worker at a rate at least equal to the applicable minimum wage rate from three years to six years.
