National Minimum Wage visits and how to get involved

18 March 2016

The Low Pay Commission (LPC) will be visiting areas across the UK to gather evidence on the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and low pay, with a particular focus on the new National Living Wage (NLW).

The Commission, whose purpose is to provide advice to the Government on matters relating to the NMW, would like to meet employers and workers affected by low pay, to hear first hand what impact the NMW is having in your area.
