Its £3.00 an hour, if you're under 18 but above compulsory school attendance age.
"In England and Wales: a person is no longer of compulsory school age after the last Friday of June of the school year in which their 16th birthday occurs. "
And so speaketh the government.
I don't think there's a minimum wage for people who are still of compulsory school age. The idea is that you should be in school!
So if you're already 16, then your minimum wage is £3 per hour. Anybody who says anything else is lying.
