The current NMW rates are as follows:

An apprentice rate of £2.50 applies to apprentices under 19, or those 19 and over in the first year of apprenticeship.
The Government has launched a new scheme to expose publicly employers who deliberately pay their staff less than the NMW. Under the scheme, which came into effect on 1 January 2011, defaulting employers may have their breaches publicised by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
