The measurement of apprentice pay: Report commissioned by the Low Pay Commission

Drew, Hilary; Ritchie, Felix; Veliziotis, Michail

Abstract

This report considers the measurement of apprentice pay, both the accuracy of that measurement and what can be said about compliance with the National Minimum Wage. In summary, there are substantial problems with accurately identifying apprentice pay; however, it is possible to identify some consistent areas of concern. Of these, the most important is non-compliance amongst those in the second year of their apprenticeship.
