This is the first time I have been ‘in charge’ of HR when the NMW has increased and I am looking for some advice.

Other than ensuring all employees are paid at least the NMW is there anything else I have to do?

Our starting pay rate is not much more than the new NMW so I am going to propose an increase – does anyone have any advise on this – our HQ in US will have to approve this and we’ve not been making much £ lately, however if we pay close to the NMW we will struggle to recruit quality staff.

Many thanks.
