Deadline for minimum wage submissions nears

Committee seeks feedback as part of annual review

Time is running out to respond to the annual review of the Island's minimum wage.

The Minimum Wage Committee's consultation on the current rate closes on Friday.

Views are being sought on a range of issues including the social and economic impact of changing the minimum wage, the effect on different groups and the link between minimum wage and the tax system.

Submissions can be made to the secretary of the committee at Nivison House on Prospect Hill, or by emailing employment.dfe@gov.im.

The minimum wage is currently £7.85 for those over 18 years old.

Any changes would be effective from October this year.
