Hi all,
I've read that the minimum wage for 16/17 year olds is �3.30/hour, but don't know about what my 15 year old can expect if she starts a weekend part-time waitressing job. Also, is there a restriction on weekend working hours, like there is on school nights (when it's 2 hours). She should do Saturday one week, Sunday the next, so just one day each weekend. Finally, is that �3.30 before tax?
Many thanks,
Neet

Thank you so much Kempie, for your prompt reply. The site is brilliant. Still don't know what she can expect to get paid, but if she gets �3.30, she'll be lucky. Any more will be a bonus..! ;O)
I am seventeen and have two jobs, both waitressing. Both companies I work for employ fifteen year olds, and none of them gey any less than �4 an hour. My sister, who is fifteen, works alongside me as a waitress for 6 hours every Saturday and receives �4 an hour- which she is pleased with. I don't know whether it depends on area or what, but from where I am in the South fifteen year olds can expect anything between �4-�5. Most companies pay more than the minimum wage nowadays anyway.

Thank you very much Lauren, this is really helpful. (We are in the south too, so it may be the same). My daughter would be delighted with �4 or �5 an hour, I'm sure, so fingers crossed!
Your daughter is subject to income tax, but don't forget she has a personal allowance like everyone else.

She would need an income of above �100.48 per week to be elligible for income tax.

Thanks Ethel. As she won't be earning that amount (she should be so lucky, ha ha!), she won't get taxed it seems then.
