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.

So if you're already 16, then your minimum wage is £3 per hour. Anybody who says anything else is lying.
