No minimum wage if you’re 15 or under.

The minimum wage(s) are so low it’s sickening, anyway.

And what is the point of even having a MINIMUM wage if there are so many expections! It makes me very cross!

When I was 16 and working (not that long ago, either) there was no minimum wage for under-18s either! Now there’s one at 16, one at 18 and one at 21. Still ridiculous that companies can pay people less based purely on their age!
