Hi gents.
I'm currently studying my level 3 NVQ and I'm working for a one man band. In work I do a lot of the work and on a average day it's 9 hours but this does go on sometimes in to silly hours. Ive just passed my OFTEC which the boss paid for so I don't want to leave if I can help it and I do enjoy working with the guy, but the pay is grinding me down at the minute.
My pay at the moment is 40 a day and he does cut it when we finish early to 25.
He's happy with my work and even said that I do a better job than him.
Any advice? I feel stuck because I don't want to jeopardise my NVQ by causing a argument over pay.
Thanks for reading.
I can't see you ever got an answer, sorry if I missed it.
It depends on you age minimum pay rates are here and note apprentice rate of £2.73 ph only applies if you are under 19 years of age.

Your employer must pay you at least these rates:
up to & including 20 years £5.13 ph
21+ £6.50 ph
no matter what job you do.
