It's slave labour rates.... that's just over £6,600 a year on a 37.5 hour week.

Then again, no 16 year old should be working full time like that. I suppose its just to push more people into further education.

I know :bawling:
In Mc.Donalds they only get like 3.50 something a hour and thats such hard work.

I would NEVER work in Mc.Donalds even if it was 800 pound a hour.

And those figures are before tax.

That's more like the around figure it should be even at 16.... that just under £10,000 a year full time before deductions.

£3.53 I think.

I'm on £6.52 but then again I am 18, classed as an adult methinks, but when I was working at Tesco when I was 17 I was still on £4.94 as my minimum, maybe Tesco pay more.

But then again I wouldn't want to ruin my reputation by working in some low life place like Mc Donalds.
