Nmw when it rises each year is our pay supposed too rise?

[PaperTyger]

So for instance if I was on £7.51 an hour then the following year it went to £8 something but I'm still on 7 something is that right?
And if my pay should have increased with this rise over the year's how come it didn't?

Not sure what you mean, if you are on NMW then your wage should rise with the NMW. If you are paid over that, it is up to your employer to rise it.

As above, don’t really understand.

Are you are on nmw?

Are you on NMW? If so, it should be at that amount.

You cannot be paid less than minimum wage for the work you do.

If you're on minimum wage then your wage goes up when minimum wage goes up.

I don’t understand, are you being paid less than minimum wage? It’s confusing because the figures you’ve used are less than minimum wage for the last few years

I'm trying to work out my hourly rate.

I've been using an on line salary calculator.
When I devide up the Hours it Seems to be below the nmw?

I'm not very good at this at all.
It's probably me miscalculated it but it Seems to show I'm not getting nmw?
But essentially work in education so how could they get it wrong?

Have you had a full pay since the NMW raise came in?

You'll need to tell us your working hours, exclude lunch, and your gross annual salary.

If you type national minimum wage and living wage calculator into gov.uk there is a calculator that will help you check if you are getting the right pay. But basically: when the national rate goes up (as it did recently on April 1 2022) so should your wages with it. You can also call ACAS helpline on 0300 123 1100 and even report your employer to HMRC confidentially if it turns out they are not paying you what you are rightfully due. There's an online form to do it.

If you are in education you tend to only be paid for 39 weeks (spread over 12 months) so you need to make that adjustment when calculating.

So I took my yearly wage. Put it into the calculation, with my pension and ni.all that matched up salary calculator said exactly what I had taken out and my pay.
Then I devided up the Hours per day.
It seemed to be around 7.50 something?

What sort of education are you in?

Bernadette no not yet.
I was trying to anticipate what I might get.

Red why?

The point is it's From government.

I cant see anything relevance on how they pay by what education I'm in?

If you are in schools you only get paid for 39 weeks a year.

What does your payslip say? Are you paid weekly? Or are you paid 4 weekly? Or are you paid monthly? What is your gross salary? How many hours per week do you work? How many months per year do you work?

NMW is the amount before tax, ie the gross amount. If you are dividing your post tax/NI wage by your hours then it will be lower than the gross NNE amount.

Nmw is before all deductions

How much do you get paid (before tax and pension is taken out), and how many hours do you work? NMW is before tax and pension.

This.

Divide the whole total by the hours. Not what's left after deductions.

Hibiscus that could be my error, I will double check that again tomorrow thank you!

As pp say NMW is before deductions. Not what you take home at the when everything else is taken off.

If OP works 39 weeks she should still be paid statutory holidays.

Also depends on your age, over 25 get the max nmw, younger get different rates.
Most people won't see the increase until this month as wages are paid in arrears usually too.
