These Regulations, which amend the National Minimum Wage Regulations 1999 (“the principal regulations”) and come into force on 1st October 2002, increase the minimum hourly rate of the national minimum wage from £4.10 to £4.20. They also increase the rate to be paid to those (including workers aged between 18 and 21 inclusive) who qualify for the national minimum wage at a different rate, from £3.50 to £3.60.
The Regulations further amend the principal regulations by inserting a new regulation 14A, which provides that the rate of the national minimum wage to which a worker is entitled in any pay reference period (which is defined in regulation 10 of the principal regulations) is the rate in force on the first day of that period.
The Regulations contain a revocation provision which revokes previous provisions which increased the minimum hourly rate of the national minimum wage.
A Regulatory Impact Assessment of the estimated costs and benefits of the rate increases has been placed in the Libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
