Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Mininimum Wage: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Neil McDonnell:
Again, we do not survey businesses for a breakdown of their workforce but a substantial cohort of the type of sub-minimum rate of labour we are talking about enter the workforce for a window in July and August and will exit it in September, whether they go back to college or school. They effectively backfill the adult labour that will go on holidays over the next eight or nine weeks.
