Don't forget to check your salaries

I can't believe it's almost 3 months since I last blogged - where does the time go!?

Not having time to blog because you are too busy getting on with the day job is a good problem to have so here at KMC HR we are not complaining.  We promise to try and get back on track with regular communication from now.

So, to update you on legislation that came into effect on 1 October 2012.  The National Minimum Wage is now as follows:

• The main rate for workers aged 21 and over increased to £6.19
• The rate for 18-20 year olds remains at £4.98
• The rate for 16-17 year olds remains at £3.68
• The rate for apprentices under 19 years, or over 19 years but in their first year of apprenticeship, increased to £2.65

Don't forget to check your salaries to ensure you are complying with legislation.  Also, it is good practice to diarise relevant dates of birth so you don't forget when someone crosses over from one age group to another.
