Around 2 million UK workers are to receive an increase in pay from April 2021 following a rise in the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage.

For the very first time, the National Living Wage will apply to 23 and 24 year olds.

A measured but fair increase is aimed to support Britain’s workforce, while recognising the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on business. 

If you are an employee in Conwy county who is not receiving the new statutory minimum, you are asked to log you complaint directly with the local authority who can esculate enforcement action on behalf of HMRC.

In full, the increases are:

- National Living Wage (23+) to increase from £8.72 to £8.91
- National Minimum Wage (21-22) to increase from £8.20 to £8.36
- National Minimum Wage (18-20) to increase £6.45 to £6.56
- National Minimum Wage (under 18) to increase £4.55 to £4.62
- Apprenticeship Wage to increase from £4.15 to £4.30
