In March 2022, the Government published the Low Pay Commission’s remit asking them to make recommendations for minimum wage rates that should apply from April 2023. The Government will continue to consider the Low Pay Commission’s advice when setting wage floors in order to ensure that minimum wage rises are balanced between rewarding workers whilst minimising the impact on the economy and employers.
