Can someone help me with the new minimum wage please?

Trying to work out my pay in my head (tight month - cost of living is flooring me).

Before April I was paid £8.80 an hour. Then and extra 10% is paid on top of that as an unsociable hours bonus.

Will I get paid the new NMW + 10%. Or does the 10% make up the shortfall and therefore my hourly pay will stay at £8.80 rather than £9.50.

Collleagues on newer contracts are paid £9.80 an hour, rather than £8.80 + 10%. Only me and a couple of others are on the older contract.

And as we’re not paid the 10% if we’re on annual leave, will I get £9.50 for my annual leave hours? Or will that stay as £8.80 because they’re not actual ‘working’ hours?

Am feeling a bit stressed and confused.

I’ll get a payslip later this evening but I want to work it out beforehand so there’s no horrible surprises.

How old are you? £8.80 was below NMW for over 23 year olds - and payments for unsociable hours don’t count towards NMW

You must be under 23, or you've been royally done over by your employer.
