Martin Lewis issues urgent warning for minimum wage workers at risk of being underpaid
Money-saving expert Martin Lewis has revealed how minimum wage workers could be at risk of being underpaid.
Mr Lewis added that there were a variety of factors workers need to keep an eye out for to see if they are being underpaid. We've broken down the eight ways you could be missing out on some essential cash if you're earning the minimum wage... Commission Mr Lewis highlighted for jobs that include commissions: "If you’re on commission only, and you’re not getting the minimum wage, employers have to top it up. If you do not have set hours, they need to work it out via a fair estimate of how long it would take you to do the job getting towards the end the apprentice rate."
Uniforms Mr Lewis explained: "So let’s take a look on that the first one in the biggest category. If, as part of your employment, you have to pay for your uniform or tools or safety clothing or appropriate clothing and the cost of those once it is taken off, your wage puts you less than the minimum wage. You are being underpaid, and they are not allowed to do that."
