Chief minister discusses businesses' reaction to upcoming rise
The chief minister says government does recognise and is mindful of the increased pressures the upcoming rise in minimum wage will place on some Manx businesses.
The rate is due to increase from £12.25 to £13.46 in April next year.
The rise has caused concern for some local firms, with the Chamber of Commerce and Local Economy Forum both lobbying for the move to be paused.
Speaking at this week's sitting of the House of Keys, Alfred Cannan insisted ministers are listening:
