Clocking system makes payroll more efficient for firms with school leavers

The national minimum wage is being raised this autumn. There are different grades depending upon age and employment status, and for younger people there will be a 7p increase for 16 and 17-year-olds – which will take effect on October 1, 2010. Almost all workers who work in the United Kingdom are entitled to the national minimum wage. But there are some exemptions, including children who are still of compulsory school age. In England and Wales, a person is no longer of compulsory school age after the last Friday of June of the school year in which their 16th birthday occurs.
