Default Re: Minimum wage to rise

Not much, but better than nothing. :)

Holidays, minimum wage up from today
1:00PM Sunday April 01, 2007

Major initiatives over pay and working conditions come into force from today.

There is the introduction of a minimum of four weeks annual holiday for workers, and an almost 10 per cent rise in the minimum wage.

The adult minimum wage is now $11.25 an hour, up 9.8 per cent. New Zealand Superannuation is also increasing.

Employment lawyer Andrew Scott-Howman does not believe many companies will struggle with the legislation.

He says people have known about the changes for four years, as the decisions were taken back in 2003.
