GLASGOW, SCOTLAND, April 02, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The national minimum wage will increase by 20p an hour to GBP6.70 from October and will benefit more than 1.4 million workers. The hourly rate for young workers is also going to increase and apprentices will now get paid GBP3.30 an hour, which is an increase of 20%. The Low Pay Commission recommended the increase and the Government chose to increase the minimum wage further for apprentices. The 3% increase in the national minimum wage for adult workers is the biggest real terms rise in 7 years (bbc.co.uk 17th March 2015). However, some do not feel that this increase is enough and Unions are concerned that it will not address 'in work poverty'.
About Chiron Marketing: http://www.chironmarketing.com/
Chiron Marketing Solutions believes the small increase could drive workers to investigate alternative employment opportunities such as working with start-ups and flexible working hours. As a small business, Chiron Marketing Solutions knows the benefits working with a start up can bring to workers. These include more flexible working, more opportunities to be creative and innovative, higher earning potential and more opportunities for progression, especially as the business grows. The firm outline their top three benefits in more detail as:
1. More opportunities are given
Most start-up jobs won't pay as well as some of the bigger corporate and business jobs. But working at a start-up offers a different type of reward: an incentive-based system that isn't based on money, but rather in skills attained and opportunities seized. The experience will outweigh the pay cut.
2. You'll be instilled with the value of hard work, ownership, and self-sustainability
Maybe more important than any other benefit of working at a start-up is the realisation that hard work, creative thinking, and tenacity are worth a whole lot. Once a person has created something of their own, something tangible and whole, something that can be touched, felt, or used, a person will really begin to appreciate personal ownership.
3. Your work will be recognized
If a person is working at a big company, the chances are that all of their hard work is going to be ignored by the boss or someone else is going to snag the credit. But at a start-up, it's nearly impossible not to notice a job well done or to give credit where credit is due. If a person succeeds, the small team will recognise it instantly, and the praise and glory is theirs to bask in.
