    Hi,

    I have been working in a retail job for a year now. I am under 18, and am getting paid minimum wage of €6. I was just wondering am I entitled to a raise after a year of experience or is it up to the employer?

    Thanks

    unfortunately if still under the age of 18, then you aren't entitled by law to an increase. see this from Citizens advice website:

    Since 1 July 2011, the national minimum wage is €8.65 per hour. Previously it was €7.65 per hour. This does not mean that everyone is automatically entitled to receive this. Young people aged under 18 are only guaranteed up to 70% of the national minimum wage which is €6.06 per hour. Your employer is, of course, free to pay you more than the minimum wage if they wish, but you should be aware that they are not required to do so by law.
