It dawned on me this morning that the minimum wage isn't just about fairness to low paid workers.
It's also about making sure income tax is paid.
Before bosses could pay £2 an hour on the books and then slip you £50 from petty cash. With the minimum wage the boss has to pay a set minimum and you'll end up paying income tax.
Sneaky, sneaky. I came to that conclusion after the Labour government introduced the law and conservatives (usually more capitalist) are continuing it.The National Minimum Wage rates : Directgov - EmploymentInformation on the National Minimum Wage (NMW) rates, guidance in foreign languages and advice on what to do if you have any problems with being paid the NMW.
