Half a million people on minimum wage could be getting underpaid, Money Saving Expert (MSE) founder Martin Lewis has warned. The UK minimum wage increased on April 1, rising 6.6 per cent for for those aged 23 and over to £9.50 per hour.
Workers aged from 21 to 22 also saw their pay rise by 9.8 per cent to £9.18 per hour. However, Wales Online reports that Martin Lewis and the MSE website say that "many who think they are on minimum wage are in reality actually being paid less than they should".
The Low Pay Commission (LPC), an independent body that advises the government about the National Living Wage and the National Minimum Wage, believes this could be almost half a million people. The MSE website has therefore issued a guide to help people claim back some of the money they may be owed.
