bennyl10

Aplied and was succesful in getting a new job in a bar..
Was told its €50 paid per shift..
A nomal shift, according to current staff can go from 6 until half 2.. (3 of the current 4 staff have all handed in there 2 weeks notice, hence the new posution availability)

Its supposef to be 8.65 an hour isnt it? Or is there scope for this level.of pay? Im due to work from 5 until close tomorrow, this apparently being one shift, so 50quid..

Do i have any legal ground/who should I aproach, or am i stuck with this pay?..

Im 20 btw.

Exceptions to those entitled to receive the national minimum wage

There are some exceptions to those entitled to receive the national minimum wage. The legislation does not apply to a person employed by a close relative (for example, a spouse, civil partner or parent) nor does it apply to those in statutory apprenticeships. Also some employees such as young people under 18 and trainees are only guaranteed a reduced or sub-minimum rate of the national minimum wage.
Sub-minimum rates

Since 1 July 2011 the National Minimum Wage Act provides the following sub-minimum rates, see also 'Rates' below:

* An employee who is under 18 is entitled to €6.06 per hour (this is 70% of the minimum wage)
* An employee who is in the first year of employment since the age of 18 is entitled to €6.92 per hour (80% of minimum wage)
* An employee who is in the second year of employment since the date of first employment over the age of 18 is entitled to €7.79 per hour (90% of the minimum wage)
