Universal credit has dropped to 55p in every pound you earn and the minimum you get get without deductions has been raised to £500 which i think is worth more then the extra £20 they were giving but my maths may be a bit off

It will probably mean they have to increase the pay of supervisors/management as well though

Someone on full time minimum wage now will make nearly 20k a year which is about what a lot of companies pay junior management

They also have increased NI payments with a rise in wages

A lot of places at this point are barely paying 50p/h more for duty managers and the trend seems to be simply making basic management duties part of the minimum wage baseline employment. Unfortunately.
