General

The basic concept of time work (NMWM07040) is that a worker must be paid at least National Minimum Wage for the time they spend working in a pay reference period (NMWM09010).

Therefore, for a worker performing time work, the amount of pay a worker receives for a pay reference period will vary according to the number of hours they work or are treated as working.
