<p>The National Living Wage (NLW) will increase to £11.44 on 1 April and be extended
to workers over 21. It is reaching two-thirds of median earnings, meeting our commitment
to end low hourly pay for those eligible.</p><p>The Government commends employers
who are able to go beyond the legal minimum. However, the ability to do so varies
across sector and region.</p><p>Unlike other voluntary rates of pay, the statutory
NLW is based on the advice of the Low Pay Commission, which takes into account the
impact on business and the wider economy, as well as the living standards of workers.</p>
