THE proposed 16p increase in the minimum wage has received a mixed response.
The Employment Forum, which conducts an annual review of the minimum wage and makes a recommendation to the Social Security Minister as to whether it should change, announced on Friday that it thought the rate should increase to £5.
0 an hour from 1 April.
The seven-member panel is suggesting a 3.
per cent increase from the current £5.
4 hourly rate.
It is also recommending a 2.
per cent rise in the trainee rate, from £3.
4 to £4.
5, and a 3.
per cent increase in the amount allowed to be offset each week for accommodation and food.
