National Living Wage to increase to at least £11 per hour from April 2024

National Living Wage to rise again

At this week's Conservative Party conference, the Chancellor committed to increasing the National Living Wage (NLW) from April 2024 as recommended by the Low Pay Commission (LPC). The LPC's recommendations are due to be announced in November and he confirmed it is anticipated that this will result in the NLW increasing to over £11 per hour. 
 
The NLW is the highest rate of the national minimum wage (NMW), currently applicable to workers aged 23 and over. The age threshold is due to be lowered to 21 in April 2024, which is a significant development that might catch many an employer out.   
 
The government normally increases the NLW and NMW in line with the LPC's recommendations and the Chancellor's comments this week would suggest that is almost a certainty this time around.
