Increased from £4.81 to £5.28 per hour

Increased from £4.81 to £5.28 per hour
- Aged 18-20
Increased from £6.83 to £7.49 per hour
- Aged 21-22
Increased from £9.18 to £10.18 per hour
- Aged 23 and over (national Living Wage)

In relation to Statutory Leave Payments, these will again increase from 1 April 2023 as follows:
- Statutory Maternity Pay and Statutory Adoption Pay
