Jersey's Employment Forum has recommended that the minimum wage should increase to £6.53 per hour from 1 April 2013.

This would provide a pay rise of around £2 per week for employees working a 40 hour week.

The Forum reviewed the minimum wage by consulting employers, employees and other interested parties, and considering the latest statistics and economic advice.

The modest increase - 0.75% - takes into account the continuing economic difficulties local businesses are facing and balances the views of employers and employees, the impact of any increase on jobs and competitiveness in Jersey, and the States of Jersey's objective that the minimum wage should be increased proportionately to average weekly earnings over the next 13 years.
