Well this placement is hopefully for only two weeks, then I hopefully move onto Primark for 50P a hour. So if I do go to Primark, my mum and I will take on the government.

Because this is slave labour at it finest.

Minimum Wages

The national minimum wage (NMW) means nearly all workers are entitled to a minimum hourly wage.
You're covered if you're a casual labourer, an agency worker, a homeworker, you're on a short-term contract or working for a subcontractor.
The minimum wage depends on your age and your employment status.
The standard hourly rate for workers aged over 22 is £4.50, rising to £4.85 from October 2004.
The standard hourly rate for workers between 18-21 and workers over 22 on the trainee rate is £3.80, rising to £4.10 from October 2004.
The minimum hourly wage for 16 and 17 year olds will be £3, but this will not be introduced until October 2004. Until then there is no minimum wage for under 18s.

Unfortunately, you're not covered if you're:

Under 18 (although this changes in October 2004 - see above)
An apprentice aged 19-25 in the first year of your apprenticeship. But you'll qualify for age-related NMW after that - unless you become a trainee
If you're living and working within a family - as a nanny or au pair, for example - and sharing meals without having to pay towards your accommodation or food.
Self-employed
A member of the armed forces
A share fisherman
A prisoner
A voluntary worker
A trainee on a government scheme
