This consultation invites submissions of evidence to inform the Low Pay Commission’s report on the National Minimum Wage (NMW).

The government has asked the Commission to:

  • monitor, evaluate, and review the levels of the different NMW rates and make recommendations
  • review the contribution the NMW could make to the employment prospects of young people, including those in apprenticeships, and as part of this review consider the implications of the introduction of the Raising of the Participation Age in England on the youth rates and apprentice rate
  • review the accommodation offset
  • evaluate the NMW regulations for salaried-hours workers, and consider whether there are any measures which could be taken to make arrangements as simple and easy as possible for employers and individuals

In making our recommendations in these areas the Commission is asked to take account of the state of the economy, including employment and unemployment levels.

We would welcome any evidence you may wish to submit on these matters.
