Workers aged 21 and over - £5.93 per hour
Workers between 18 and 20 - £4.92 per hour
Young workers (over the compulsory school age but under 18) - £3.64 per hour

£2.50 per hour for apprentices who are under the age of 19 or who are older than 19 but in the first year of their apprenticeship.
Employers should note that from 1 October 2010 the standard Adult rate of £5.93 per hour
