  • the employees' right to know how much they get paid

    Do employees have a right to know how much they are getting paid per hour before actually getting paid, and likewise for employers' duty to inform their staff of a new rate of pay before paying their staff?
    Say supervisors in a company are getting paid just above the minimum wage. When the minimum wage rose on 1st April, was it an employer's duty (by law) to inform their supervisors of their new rate of pay before paying them?
    do employees actually have a right to know what their new rate is going to be long enough in advance so as to allow them to give their notice if not satisfied?
    Is not informing employees breaching their right to know or choose?
    does this look more like a legal or a moral matter?

    Re: the employees' right to know how much they get paid

    Hi and welcome.
    As long as the employer continues to pay the agreed rate, or the increased minimum wage if that is above agreed current rate,, IMO there is no need to inform employees as they are no worse off.
    As long as employees receive a properly detailed wage slip on or before pay day the law is satisfied

      Thanks for your reply.
      What if the employees are worse off with the new rate, 20p above the old minimum and 20p above the new minimum equals a percentage loss. Should the employee not be notified long enough in advance?

        An increase is an increase, a percentage loss as you put it is just a smaller increase.
        £7.20 +20p =£7.40
        £7.50 + 20p = £7.70

          The legal position is that, when there is a change to your rate of pay, the employer must inform you no later than 1 month after that change occurs. Stating the rate in your wageslip is sufficient.
