Hi,
I wonder if someone could help me with a minimum wage query.
I have been working as an apprentice being paid £2.60 per hour since October 2010.
I turned 19 in January 2011 and am still currently employed being paid £2.60 per hour.
Its now come to my attention that £2.60 is the apprentice rate, for apprentices under 19 or 19 or over and in the first year of their apprenticeship. Therefore I think I have been entitled to minimum wage since October 2011 but I'm not sure if this means that I had to start my apprenticeship when I was 19 as I was 18 for 3 months.
If someone could let me know if I have been entitled to minimum wage and if my employer has to back date and pay me what I've earned?
Thanks for any help in advance

It says "your salary will be at the apprenticeship rate of £2.50 per hour payable in weekly instalments one week in arrears."
Surely if its law it doesn't matter what my contract says though?
