Login Living Wage Set to Increase to £11.44 on 1st April 2024
In a significant move towards ensuring fair compensation for workers, the UK Government has announced a substantial increase in the minimum wage, known as the National Living Wage. Effective from April 1st, 2024, the minimum wage for workers over 21 will rise to £11.44 per hour, up from the current £10.42 per hour for those over 23 and £10.18 per hour for workers aged 21-22.
This announcement marks a significant step towards addressing the issue of living standards and income inequality across the nation. With the cost of living steadily rising, the wage increase is a welcomed relief for millions of workers striving to make ends meet.
In tandem with the government’s announcement, the Living Wage Foundation has also revealed its updated rates for 2024. The Foundation’s Living Wage will rise to £12 UK-wide and £13.15 in London, surpassing the government’s minimum wage and reflecting the true cost of living in these areas.
