A lad i know (age 17), has just started as an apprentice for 1 year with a national electrical wholesaler. He is working a 40 hour week and will be paid £100!!!

As this is obviously below the minimum wage for his age, are the rules different for apprentiships?

Thanks for all the info. I'll check regarding the NVQ.

At least it's a start but i feel they are ripping him with the wages!
