From April 2016, the Government introduced a mandatory National Living Wage for workers aged 25 and above. The statutory National Minimum Wage applies to workers under the age of 25. The standard selection questionnaire for all Departmental contracts requires suppliers to confirm they have not broken any labour laws.
